Sorry Michael just tried to keep it brief. Basically I open with how the falx could slice of body parts and my roll as once actually fighting against the Romans and how I came to be serving in the army. This then leads onto the use of heads especially  by the cavalry hanging from there horses to intimidate the enemy, as well the incident involving the LEG II AUG in 22AD when the legionaries stopped fighting and pursuing the running enemy because they were recruited from a head hunting tribe, began removing heads as trophys while the officer urged them to finish the fleeing enemy. From this I find a great number of questions start to be asked. This worked great when I decapitated the butternut, after I stated that the falx was not sharp and had little hope of it cutting half way through to be proved wrong   then I said to the crowd  This is how lethal even a blunt sword can be. I hope this goes to explain the hand
