The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Linguistically, within Latin, the word also came to mean "sword", regardless of the type used.
- Early ancient Roman swords were similar to those of the Greeks, called xiphe.
- From the 3rd century BC, however, the Romans adopted a weapon based on the sword of the Celtiberians of Hispania in service to Carthage during the Punic Wars, known in Latin as the gladius hispaniensis, meaning "Hispanic-type sword".
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gladius article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
