falx

It was not mentioned as a weapon like the falx however.

The species name is derived from the Latin word falx "sickle".

The Thracians also made use of the falx.

This drastic curve rendered the falx a purely offensive weapon to be used against a broken or routing force.

It is situated in the attached margin of the falx cerebelli, and is generally single, but occasionally there are two.
