At the time of the Dacian wars researchers have estimated that only ten percent of Spanish and Gallic warriors had access to swords, usually the nobility. By contrast Dacia had rich resources of iron and were prolific metal workers. It is clear that a large percentage of Dacians owned swords, greatly reducing Rome's military advantage.[7]
Marcus Cornelius Fronto described the large gaping wounds that a falx inflicted, and experiments have shown that a blow from a falx easily penetrated the Romans' lorica segmentata, incapacitating the majority of victims.

 

ahahaha, what a bunch of ...

 

Never thought I'd see a Roman solder using a camera...

 

As I said in another thread, Roman technology never ceases to amaze me.

 

this sword is Dacian.

 

as of respect i think they put this weapon on this coin.

all the best

Yes, that's very interesting. I have not seen this type of sword on a Roman coin before.

 

(I was making a joke about the cameras. I guess it got lost in translation.)

 

Ah i thought you were talking about the sword haha.

Cheers,

Eric
