Quote:I'm having trouble seeing how any of this is relevant to the falx?

I've seen nothing to suggest that the falx was specifically designed to be used in battle.
I've seen nothing to suggest that it was a better cutter than a dozen other blades in use at the time.
I've seen nothing to suggest that falxmen played a prominent role in any Dacian victory against the Romans.

Presuming the falx handle is as long as the blade, it could be used in a fashion not dissimilar to a bill, which would make it extremely effective against Romans.
