Possibly hidden by a chef who got tired of soldiers using his good, sharp knives to stab people. Or from the wife who used them to cut toga hems.

“BCE” is used by leftists who reject God to avoid any reference to Christ

I read BCE as “Before the Christian Era”, and make sure I note that whenever I run across it when others are present. It pisses off Leftists / Atheists.

Actually, “BCE” and “CE” are used in Israel as a courtesy to heathens who don’t understand the actual Hebrew calendar.

The gladius was a short sword used by the infantry but the cavalry used a longer sword called the spatha.

Makes sense that a cavalryman would need a longer sword................
