Quote:Correct me if im wrong but didnt the Dacians use a similar weapon to that of the katana against the Romans: the falx. I remember it from Rome: Total War. According to http://www.larp.com/legioxx/manica.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falxthe falx caused Romans to modify their armor.
a falx is not entirly the same as a naginata. The blade of a flax is bend forward, that of a naginata is bend backwards. A flax is more of a slashing weapon (great if you want to cut of some arms etc.)
