Although Roman in origin, the design of this axe is best be described as a descendant of the Indo-Persian culture. Islamic cultural aspects can be derived from the details of the handle as well as the blade.

For one, this Roman axe has a crescent shaped head. We all know that the crescent moon is one of the distinguishable emblems of Islam. When the Roman Empire penetrates part of Persia, it did not necessarily mean that the people in that side of Asia will get assimilated by Roman culture (most of which, has been derived from the Greek). In fact, what happened was otherwise. The so-called Roman weapons do not really originated from Europe but from these Indo-Persian areas. No wonder that this Roman axe can be described as such.

Going back to the head of the axe, one would find that it measures 6 ¾ inches in length and five inches in width. Just like its ancient counterpart, the axe founding Dungeon Knight is made from solid carbon steel that is surely built to last.

Though it is apparent that those who would like to purchase this Roman axe do not necessarily wish to be able to use it in real battles, the artisans who crafted this axe was still able to make it as if it will be used in real battles. In fact, it also features the steel spike found at the end of the head of the axe which is not just there for ornamental or symbolic purposes. Instead, it also functions as a tool for battle. In fact , we advice collectors not to horseplay with these weapons because they are really made as the real thing.

So go ahead and purchase this Roman axe but always remember that weapon collection, like swords, also entails certain responsibilities and precautions.
