Sword of the Free
The Sword of the Free was a sword which originally belonged to the Roman general Julius Caesar.
Around 47 BCE, Caesar wielded the sword in the arena of Cyrene and defeated Polymestor, a Thracian gladiator of a Roman lanista. Despite the fact that he was given the choice to execute the gladiator, Caesar chose to spare him, bestowing him the sword and with it, his freedom.[1]
Refusing to fight in arenas any longer, Polymestor left the lanista's service, taking the sword with him. Polymestor eventually threw the sword away in the Mediterranean Sea, believing it to be bad luck. The Medjay Bayek of Siwa later retrieved the sword from the sea, having been sent by the lanista to recover the sword.[1]

| The crowd gasped as Julius Caesar held the sword aloft. With one flick of his wrist, he could have cut off the Champion's head. Instead, he held the pommel towards the bloodied man. Gave the Champion this weapon and with it, his freedom. | ||||
