"This study examines in depth the pugio (pl. pugiones), a short daggersword and one
of the weapons of choice of the Roman army -- it was the weapon that killed Julius
Caesar. Its rich decoration and the use of precious metals have given it legendary
status, which has been enhanced by a scarcity of literary sources and the lack of
a clear explanation of its function or the specific use soldiers made of it. This
work tries to fill this gap, basing its finds exclusively on undisputed data and sources.
This study of the pugio takes us through the history and evolution of the Roman army
itself"--Publisher's web site
