Class: heavy ยท Category: infantry ยท Men per unit: 40

Description

The only ones allowed to use the falx, a sacred weapon, were the elite troops of experienced soldiers and tarabostes. This was the case of Dacian Elite Falxmen formed from Dacian tribal leaders the Tarabostes, and very experienced soldiers, with tremendous reputation, true heroes of their times. At ease in the hills or open plains these men fear no adversary. They have one of the best weapons in the world: the dreaded falx. This larger version of the sica was used to hack down enemies with its inner curved blade (0.7 to 0.8 m). Its tip was also used as a hook to grab shields and helmets and leave the enemy defenceless. Its slashing force is formidable. It could cut off unprotected limbs entirely. The sharp tip of the sword even pierced metal.
