Anotations

Scope 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.'
