Without the intention of getting too off topic, do you all think it would be plausible that after Trajan's Dacian war, auxiliaries from Dacia would have wielded a falx? Roman auxilia were famous for using a wide variety of weapons. If the Romans were as terrified of the falx as we'd like to believe, wouldn't it only be logical for the Romans to turn this fearsome weapon against their enemies?
The above picture of the gentleman holding the falx gave me the idea.
