Caesar's screen-used stunt sword

The most recent addition to my collection is the Caesar’s screen-used stunt sword used by Karl Urban as Caesar during the series . The sword is resin with a metal rod inside. Another eBay pick up from the seller: Orbital-surplus: 

"This rubber and plastic sword was identified by an employee of Global Effects, whos earlier job in New Zealand, had been fabrication of many of metal & rubber weapons for the series. This was acquired by Global in a prop trade in the early 2000's, not long after the series ended. The sword was deemed to delicate for rental service, thus being retired." This was written in the listing from eBay.

The hilt is made of solid resin, it is painted in golden tones with an aged effect. The handle is decorated with patterned satin ribbons to differentiate from the rest of Roman swords.

The blade is made of soft foam to prevent the actors get in injured during the the fight scenes of the series. Many of the foam swords were deteriorated over the time due to the kind of soft material that it is, but if you keep it safe and stored properly the sword could keep the same condition as when the series ended.

There were multiples appearances of this sword in season 3 episodes “The Deliverer”, “When in Rome” and in season 4 episode “A good day”. 

This last addition to my collection completed my Caesar screen used costume, hopefully I will display all together soon.
