Sure.

Sicas were pretty cool too

Doesn't look very practical. Two hands for such a not huge blade that I guess doesn't weight so much.

>no shield
Say that to my javelin going through your eyeball, not online, and see what happens.

Why no one talks about shotels, just look how fucking evil they look.

The romans had javelins standardized into their equipment and that didn't stop them from getting torn into pieces.

They apparently were scary enough to get the Romans to modify their helmets, so thats something.

Actually, it did.

Not that torn to pieces.

The loss of the war was not because of poor troops, but because Decebal warred like a retard.

The second battle of Tapae for examples was pure retardation; they held a well defendable location and they retreated because of thunder... though I kind of doubt that one a bit.

The other thing is Decebal managed to drown part of his army by crossing the Danube. Which was retarded.

There's also the fact the dacians were heavily outnumbered once Trajan got legions in to help for the conquest. Here, you might argue, is another failure of Decebal; he pissed off the wrong people at the wrong time.

Finally

You do realize we're talking Dacia here, not Thracia?

Both Dacia and Thrace used the Falx.

Yeah, you're right, but I do not believe they are representative of the Falx. Wasn't the rhomphaia more of their thing?

Thracians used the Rhomphaia which is basically a straight falx. Actually its pretty much a Katana.

You do realize that you don't want a blade to weigh a lot?

Having a longer handle means you can apply more force by using it like a lever. The sword is long enough for it.

I mean, its like arguing over the difference between the Gladius and a regular short sword.
Usage and general form are the same.

Well no, the Falx curves to a full hook, the Rhomphaia is generally straight or slightly curved.
