Gladius
"Strong · Fierce"
Why Gladius?
This was the Latin word for the short sword used by Roman legionaries. The name is sharp, direct, and lethal, evoking the gleaming steel of a primary weapon designed for efficient, close-quarters combat and empire-building.
This name is ideal for a regal and proud stallion who carries himself with the sleek, deadly elegance of a master's blade. His movements are precise and powerful, his form a picture of martial grace, representing both the beauty and the formidable utility of a perfected weapon.
A regal black Thoroughbred stallion who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
