falcatas (<swords by form>, swords, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Thrusting weapons with a curved cutting edge, similar to the Greek kopis. Because of their shape, falcatas can deliver a blow with the force of an axe while keeping the cutting edge of a sword. Used on the Iberian Peninsula before the arrival of the Romans, who adopted the design later as the 'gladius hispanicus.' |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Stootwapen met een gekromd snijvlak, gelijkend op de Griekse kopis. Door de vorm is het mogelijk een slag met de kracht van een bijl te geven en tevens de snijrand van een zwaard te behouden. Werd gebruikt op het Iberische schiereiland voor de komst van de Romeinen. |
