Weapon that looks most like the gladius?

[JustSomeGuy]

I'm doing a roman legionary cosplay build, I already know which shield I need to use, the twin dragon greatshield, and I'm gonna need to mix bits of pate's set with the falconer set for the armor, but I'm not certain about the weapon...
The closest I've been able to get to a roman gladius is the shortsword, but are there closer resemblances elsewhere in the game?

The closest thing I can think of is the drakekeeper sword. It at least looks the part.

Drakekeepers's the closest thing, yup, still dosent look much like a gladius tough..

It's far too long, and It doesn't have thrusting attacks, which is how the gladius is supposed to be used in combination with the scutum. :/

Exaclty, guess theres also the broadsword, tough the handle is very diferent, at least the blade kinda reminds me of a gladius.

Yeah broadsword is the closest you'll get. If it has to thrust, then mailbreaker.

Try the manikin sabre. Not looking like a gladio, but still decent for a roman age cosplay. That's what I'm planning to do in my legionaire build :P

Manikin sabre seems to fit more as the back-up weapon of a hoplite rather than a legionaire.
