Question
The Krefeld type of these objects were part of a broader class named for the Migration Period following the fall of Western Rome. The first version of these objects in ancient Rome was named Hispaniensis and later evolved into its Mainz version. Brennus legendarily threw one of these objects onto a scale before exclaiming “Vae victis (“why wick-tees”)!” Atilla the Hun possessed one of these objects that the Scythians reportedly made from a (*) meteorite. The spatha was a type of this object strengthened by pattern welding. The word “gladiator” originates from a Latin word referring to these objects in general but more often the ones specifically used by Roman legions. For 10 points, name these weapons consisting of a short handle and elongated blade. ■END■
