Is there any connection between the blade of the falx and the blades of agricultural scythes? It was common practice throughout eastern europe into the modern era to simply put your scythe blade on pole and join the fight.
Weapons like these were emblematic of the Polish insurrections of the mid 19th century. Could this reflect a survival of the falx tradition?
