Honor, Strength, and Perseverance: The Meaning Behind the Challenge Coin

The gladius, the iconic Roman sword, was more than just a weapon—it was a symbol of discipline, resilience, and the warrior spirit. From this blade came the names gladiator and gladiatrix, referring to the men and women who fought with courage and conviction. Today, we may not step into the arena, but we are modern-day swordsmen and swordswomen, facing our own battles with honor, fortitude, and perseverance.

Etched onto each challenge coin are the words: Honor, Fortitudo et Perseverantia—honor, strength, and perseverance. These values are more than just inscriptions; they are guiding principles, reminders of who we are, who we could be, and who we should strive to become.

A challenge coin is not just a token—it’s a personal emblem. Its meaning is unique to the one who carries it. Whether it represents a journey, a struggle overcome, or a commitment to self-discipline, the connection is yours to interpret.

Your carry, your connection.
