Quote: but for piercing a top of a helmet you need to use a bigger force of a bigger sword, and that was the Falx. As well, the only one battle when they encountered Bastarnae was that from Adamclisi. I dont think the Romans will make such changes to their armour just because of that single fight, but because they constantly meet with this kind of weapons during their campaign (which was mainly against Dacians)

Would have to disagree with this, I've put an old, blunt, rusty one handed sickle head about half an inch into a shield boss before. Piercing metal with something like that one handed is fairly easy.
