Falcata

Feared by Rome and admired for its devastating power, the falcata is one of the most iconic blades of the ancient world. Its inward-curving design allowed warriors to deliver crushing blows capable of splitting shields and helmets, making it one of the most formidable weapons ever forged. This faithful reproduction captures the ferocity and heritage of the Celt-Iberian warriors who wielded it against the legions of Rome.

A Sword with Ancient Origins

The falcata’s design is believed to have originated from Greek or possibly Etruscan influences, but it was in Spain that the weapon gained its fearsome reputation. The Celt-Iberians of the Iberian Peninsula mastered its use, and Roman accounts recall their dread of the sword’s unstoppable cutting power. From Southern Russia to the rugged hills of Iberia, the falcata’s legend spread across the ancient world as a blade of unmatched lethality.
