High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The spatha was a type of straight sword with a long point (however, those carried by Roman Calvary had a rounded tip?to prevent accidentally stabbing their foe, and being flung off of their horse), measuring between 0.75 and 1 m, in use throughout 1st millennium Europe and the territory of the Roman Empire until about AD 600. Later swords through about AD 1000 are recognizable derivatives, though not spathae. The predecessor of the spatha is the 3rd century BC (La Tène) Celtic sword. the spatha was used in gladiator fights and in war. The spatha of literature appears in the Roman Empire in the 1st century as a weapon of presumed Germanic auxiliaries and went on from there to become a standard heavy infantry weapon, relegating the gladius to use as a light infantry weapon. The spatha apparently simply replaced the gladius in the front ranks, giving the infantry more reach in thrusting.
