Hi Andrew!
The three groups really are dressed quite distinctively -for a previous rather heated discussion, see the thread "The Falx" around March 2008 - on page 3 I published pictures of the three 'types' from the Adamklissi Monument.
As to the term 'falx', it simply means anything sickle-like in Latin and has been used to refer to the single-handed 'sica' on occasion......I wanted to make clear that in this instance the two-handed variety is being referred to.
For more, See Tarbicus' excellent post on the use of the word on "The Falx" thread, page 4.....
