Hoplite Swords

[hoplite14gr]

I think that a member of the forum from Spain presented links shoing the earlier kopis/falcata vesrions in Spain. In the National Museum in Athens there are two specimens dated from the Persian wars. And in Pella and Dion the specimens are even later.
From the Bronze age the traditional Greek sword was straight.
Thracic clansmen influenced the coastline colonists from the Archaic era but they were also influenced by them.
The "sika" who looks very much like the sax knife is an original thracian weapon.
Kind regards
