Thracian Rhomphaia Sword of Sitalkes II

[Archer Here]

Thanks all for the great comments. Thought I’d explain a few more details about the design of the sword. This historical design came from one of my regular customers. He teaches ancient history at Frankfurt University in Germany. So I put a lot of trust in his design. The sword isn’t a falx. Although it looks similar. It’s a Thracian Rhomphaia Sword. The moon represents the Thracian Crescent Symbol, which was a request by him.

Hope that answers some questions.
Thanks, Chris

Forgot to add this on my other post earlier this evening. Just finished the video on this sword. It shows our sword demonstration, historical footage on Sitalkes & Thracians. Turn your volume up. Hope you like it.

I know that the two weapons are related but not similar, here-s one picture from Trajan's Column:

and other from the History Museum in Cluj, which served me for example:

also there's a simbol on dacian weapons falx and sica, an "eye", a circle with a dot inside

Thanks for the link with the video, I enjoyed it as much as I did with the pics. It's a helluva blade. :thumbup:
