It could also be used in the same effect as a pilum, you hit the shield and if it goes through and gets the guy then your good, but if not they legionary has a big old thing stuck in his shield and its going to be very hard to fight. The curve downward means that the blade will be fery hard to pull out from the front and the handle makes it hard to pull out from the back. You now have a legionary without a shield which weakens the phalanx.
Go in peace, and may the light of Lugh shine on your path
