The Semi-Spatha | Weapons of History

[@ArmouredProductions]

I've heard another possible interpretation is that the Semispatha could be not a short or broken sword but a long(er) dagger and an evolution of the Pugio. But the idea that they are Gladii still in circulation or recycled broken Spatha is a good plausible interpretation as well.
