History. The Chinese Shar-Pei originated in the southern provinces of China where he was valued as a hunter, herder, guardian, and fighter. Some historians believe the Shar-Pei is an ancient breed, though there is no definitive evidence to prove this.he first National Specialty show was held in 1978. The Shar-Pei was accepted in the American Kennel Club Miscellaneous Class in 1988, and recognized by the AKC in 1991 as a member of the Non-Sporting Group.
Gladius (Latin: glÄdÄ­us) was one Latin word for sword and is used to represent the primary sword of Ancient Roman foot soldiers. Early ancient Roman swords were similar to those used by the Greeks.From the 3rd century BC, the Romans adopted swords similar to those used by the Celtiberians and others during the early part of the conquest of Hispania. This sword was known as the Gladius Hispaniensis, or  Hispanic Sword.he sword was 58 cm (23 in) long. The Chiusian sword was created from a single bloom by forging from a temperature of 1237 Â°C. The carbon content increased from 0.05â0.08% at the back side of the sword to 0.35â0.4% on the blade, from which the authors deduce some form of carburization may have been used.
