What was the Roman Gladius made of?
Was the Roman Gladius made out of iron or steel?

Some were made of iron. Some were made of steel. Some had an iron core with a steel edge welded on. Some were made of unquenched steel with workhardened edges. Some were made from differentially heat treated steel.
