The pugio was the weapon used to assassinate Julius Caesar. Here's a bit more about it. #ancienthistory #ancientrome #pugio #romanarmy #legionary #juliuscaesar
What a fitting day for a video about the Pugio! It really is quite a terrifying weapon - like most weapons to be fair. Thanks for the reminder, I took the time to send some friends a 'Happy ides of march' message.
The pugio strikes me as being about as big a weapon can reasonably be before you can no longer easily conceal it. Similar to how Americans in concealed-carry states will prefer smaller pistols that can be holstered in a belt or pocket.
Good question - from what I understand any content with knives can get pulled. I wanted to ensure that there wasn't any confusion. Just playing it safe!

thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely a CQB weapon. Last ditch maybe. A very cool blade none the less. I am sure many a Legionnaire killed many enemies with it.
Did they have any narrower knives?
the pugio varied in design and I think some were narrower. I'm unaware of any stiletto type weapons used.
Why do you point out that your pugio has dull edges, and is not a dangerous weapon?
