Did the Romans fight left-handed?
#6
Swords worn on the right were drawn with the right hand, and wielded right-handed. What's hard about this? If you find it difficult to do (or imagine), you're probably doing something wrong.

Even Celtic long swords were worn on the right. It's not exactly a quick draw, but it doesn't have to be. You can get your blade out half an hour before the battle starts.

Valete,
