A Praetorian guard sword and scabbard from Ridley Scott's Oscar®-winning historical epic Gladiator. After Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) became Emperor, he gained the Praetorian Guard, an elite unit of the Imperial Roman Army, as his personal bodyguards.

The sword comprises a metal blade; a black-painted wooden hilt decorated with a brass coloured band around the guard which is decorated with the engraved letters "SPQR" ("Senatus Populusque Romanus", or "The Roman Senate and People"); and a rounded pommel. Finished in black paint, scabbard is made of wood wrapped in canvas, with metal hardware and a brown leather strap. The lot displays signs of wear, including scratches and small dents in the blade, and scuffing and paint wear on the scabbard's canvas. Dimensions (in scabbard): 82 cm x 11 cm x 6 cm (32¼" x 4¼" x 2¼")

Estimate: £800 - 1,200 M
