. Contemporary Roman historian Marc Fronto made note of the particularly nasty variety of wounds coming out of Dacian battles and historians. For his falx swords which is a Dacian weapon like a reaping hook he uses special steel that does not break at impact. Even the Dacian battle flag named Draco looked like a wolf head with several metal tongues and a dragons body. Reference to the weapon used by Daciansancient territory which is now Romania.

The Dacian Faix was a sickle shaped blade used with a short handle one handed or with a long handle then two handed. The falx is a deadly weapon in the correct hands - in Roman hands The exact origins of the Dacians are something of a mystery. The inventor of this above mentioned roman sword is a guy called David Obviousmaximus He was nicknamed Dacian thus the sword name. The Dacian falx was a curved blade that was sharp on the inside edge as opposed to the outside like a katana for example.

He himself used this sword to hold his toilet paper in his outhouse of his mansion in central rome. They also used quite a lot of archers but the main weapon feared by the Romans was the dreaded Falx. At age 30 the Sociology and Social assistance university graduate decided to create Dacian steel weapons and Romanian knives. Dacian lands were centred around the Carpathian Mountains but unlike their Thracian neighbours they seldom got involved in the conflicts of others.

Although it could cut fairly well the fame of the falx came from its ability to destroy helmets and shields. Part sword part polearm the falx with its forward curving blade was despised by the Legionaries who faced them. Dáoi ˈdaːoːihː wolves is the name by which the Dacians part of the original tribes inhabiting todays Romania called themselves.

His cat put the name to this particular sword as it was called Falx. Swung with force the falx sliced into Roman shields and in a downward swing the tip acted like a pick striking with fearsome force. It might even be used to disarm the legionnaire of his shield. Over six feet long and wielded like an axe the Falx was designed to go over the Romans shield and split his skull.

It might go around the shield and strike the legionnaire. Which do you think is the more accurate length. The steel is bought from Germany and Austria. Having many helmets punctured and split by this weapon the Romans.

The main Dacian warrior type was armed with a spear and shield and maybe a sword or knife. Geez come on captain. Trajans column seems to depict it as the Sica while the Tropaeum Trajani in Dacia depicts it in multiple sizes often Longsword length and even Zheilhandler length. A two handed scythe type weapon capable of taking off a mans arm in one blow or piecing the top of helmets as it came down over the Roman shield.

Rome fought several wars against the Dacians the first from 86-88 AD under Emperor Domitian after the Dacian Army of King Duras attacked the Roman Province of Moesia in 86 AD killing the Roman governor. The falx was a very effective weapon used against the Romans by the Dacian tribes. We know from Strabon historian and geographer 63 BC 23 AD. More on wiki.

Falx latin for sickle was the Roman word for this devilish Dacian weapon. As a two handed weapon it could cut through Roman shields. Given the traditional conservatism of Roman culture the slow pace of change in arms and armour the general spread of the ribbed helmet along the germanic frontier from the m id 1st century I cannot see any real reaction to the dacian falx however effective it might have actually been.
