Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close range: The longsword has greater reach and power when it comes to swords. The gladius just can't keep up, Edge: Viking

Mid Range: The trident and net in my opinion is more mobile. Many of these nets were outfitted with ball weights or spikes, making it even more lethal. The Great Axe is too blundersome and requires time to swing with, Edge: Gladiator

Long Range: Like TDW is saying the throwing spear is probably the most useful at closer ranges. The throwing axe is more precise at longer ranges but when that Viking closes in (the Viking is best at mid-close ranges) then the axe is useless, Edge: Even

Special Weapons: Unlike what TDW is saying, the Gladiator shield isn't for show. Its purely made of iron and is lightweight enough for a skilled swordsman to use. The Viking shield is made of reinforced wood which won;t do much against the great metal power of the Gladiator's weapons. Edge: Gladiator

The Deadliest Warrior: Viking because they live to fight, they get my vote. The Gladiators fight to live or for the fame and probably aren't as morally motivated to fight. The Viking must fight to defend his land and to expand it
