MARTO 507 FALCATA IBERICA BRONCE

Iberian falcata, bronze color, Marto

The falcata is a steel sword originating from the Iberian Peninsula and is therefore linked to the Iberian natives before the Roman conquest. It was used by Iberian or neighboring countries such as the Celtiberians because it was the most common sword in the peninsular region. Roman chroniclers praised the quality of the iron used in the construction of Spanish arms; they were surprised by its cutting capacity and its flexibility, one of the most appreciated and sought-after characteristics of its manufacture. Curiously, after the first battles in the Iberian Peninsula, Roman troops were ordered to reinforce the edges of their shields with iron, which may be due to the cutting power of falcatas, far superior to straight swords and sabers. .
