It should be borne in mind that, strictly speaking, the two-handed falx is not a Dacian weapon at all, for while Dacians are depicted with single-handed sica, only Bastarnae tribesmen (Dacian Allies) are shown with the two-handed falx.......and this weapon is likely related to the earlier two-handed 'Thracian Rhomphaia'.
