Caratacvs the David Sim article is JRMES 11 37-41 2000. I was at the conferance and chatted to David and compared my Falx. His Falx did not like hitting iron plate and stressed the blade when hitting it but on ballistic flesh ow dear :o the wounds were terrible. Until you have the sword in your hands it will become apparent the strengths and weakness of the sword.
On the two different monuments it would be down to the subjects who modelled for the sculptures. Trajans collumn being in the heart of the Empire would have to show the public why the empire was Great and propaganda was used here to show Citizen/Auxillary troops, were as the Adamski monument used local troops from the east which the predoniment armour worn, which must have been scale and mail, to protray the same message for local eyes. They would have worn all types of armour during the war, were as the monuments tell a story of Romes greatness and not a accurate view of the armour that was or was not worn.
I came across this site on Dacians with great info on it :grin:
