Bryan it is in the book mentioned under Falcata for both Philon and Diodorus. I have other references which describes the flexibility of the Falcata but which books?. I have not come across any reference to the Gladivs Hispaniensis being flexable, only that the point was prone to snapping But I agree with you, the Falcata shape how does it bend :? Sorry its Me I am the cofused one :lol:
Regards Brennivs :-D
Sorry Bryan posted before me so here goes Rafael Trevino has placed both references under Falcata, and does not mention anything under Hispanic swords. He mentions the origons of the Falcata from the Greek Machaera/ Kopis and then goes on to its quotes of manufacture from Philon or Filon as he spells it. If I dig up the other references I will PM you Regards Brennivs :grin:
