I think this drawnings are a little inspired by that demonstration from Matthew pics
If we look to the other 2 Dacians, not the one from the middle (with a hit which we agreed is a bit less probable to be used), but from the left and right, we see that from that position the one from the left as we look have some 3 posibilities to hit, over the top of the shield, to hit the helmet, from lateral, as in the second pic of Matthew, or aiming for the legs of the legionar. The one from the right (the half naked one), if we pass over the already fallen position of the legionar, had even 5 possible moves, a hit from above to pierce the helmet with the tip of the Falx (which i think should be drawn a little more curved, here looks like a mix of Falx with Romphaia, who was almost right or right), 2 from laterals (most probably from the right) and 2 (from right-most probable, and left) to cut the legionar legs. For legionars was hard to know where the hit will come, since at least 3 positions was possible and each of them can cause him very nasty wounds (from skull piercing to amputations)
