Crocea Mors
About this image
Crocea Mors, i.e., "yellow death", a.k.a., the fabled personal sword of Julius Caesar himself, according to medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth. The sword was fabled to be extremely lethal: everyone wounded by it would surely die.
Supposedly he lost it in Britain when he stabbed the Celtic chieftain Nennius in the head with it, and it got stuck in his shield or possibly in his helmet. Nennius actually pulled it out and continued to fight with it, but died of the wound a couple of days later, thus proving the fabled lethality of the blade. (Though some would say that dying after being stabbed in the head doesn't need a special sword as an explanation.;)
Now available in the Arma Legionis ("Weapons Of The Legion") mod.
