The Bronze Sword was a type of crude sword forged from bronze that was utilized by Philistine mercenaries. In 48 BCE, one was wielded by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa during his assassination of Rudjek, a member of the Order of the Ancients.
Description[edit | edit source]
Rudimentary in design and construction, the Bronze Sword was a simple double-edged straight sword which, as its name suggests, was forged from bronze. Like typical swords of the 1st century BCE, such as the Roman gladius, the Bronze Sword lacked a real guard, consisting only of a stop between the hilt and the blade. The blade itself tapered to a sharp point, but overall, it was a crude weapon of poor quality.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
A weapon common to Philistine mercenaries,[1] the Bronze Sword was wielded by the Medjay Bayek in 48 BCE when he hunted Rudjek of the Order of the Ancients to the Bent Pyramid.[2] A few months after killing his target, Bayek was forced to fight against Rudjek's bodyguard Hypatos in the outskirts of Siwa who he subsequently slew with this sword.[3]
