The "Myth" of the "Dacian Falx" as a super weapon

[Matthew Amt]

Dacians had sheilds too, so is more likely that they handled the sword with one hand, not two.

Oh, yes, they definitely had shields, which would be carried by most any warrior with a one-handed weapon. We can be pretty sure that spears were still the most common weapon even in tribes that used the falx as a weapon. Only those men using the 2-handed version would lack a shield, generally.

Vale,

Matthew
