	Compared to swords of much later periods, the gladius is an unassuming short sword. It is straight and double-edged with a plain guard that typically lacks any protrusions, acting merely as a stop between the blade and the grip. A ~~[[Gladius (Unity)\|~~Roman sword]] rewarded to the [[France\|French]] [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Arno Dorian]] dubbed a "gladius" during the [[French Revolution]] was an exception in this regard, bearing instead a plain, circular guard that did extend further out between the blade and the hilt. Unlike other swords intended for one-handed use, the gladius offers no flexibility to this style because its hilt is too short to accommodate more than one hand. Reinforcing its overall simplicity, the pommel is a mere, un-decorated lobe and the blade is sleek, straight, and symmetrical.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>		Compared to swords of much later periods, the gladius is an unassuming short sword.
