<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 8005428, member: 74282&quot;]It&#039;s definitely similar. I&#039;m far from an expert on ancient weapons but the sources I&#039;ve read seem to think the falcata is descended from curved sickle weapons like the falx. In both cases the weapons were most effective when the wielder would try to bring one heavy blow down onto an enemy&#039;s helmet and both are known for being able to break right through Roman helmets and shields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
