Quote: Is there someone who can tell if the Romans used these also? Maybe in the auxiliary ranks :?: :?:
In Britain there were a Cohors Gaesatorum Raetorum (Cohors of "Raethic Gaesatae", Raethians armed with gaesa. I assume...), as attested by III A.D. epigraphic evidence.
The gaesum so was a weapon used by Celts, by Iberians an by Raethians.
Can't say If ii was a Celtic or Iberian concept...
