Falcata Íbera with hem
About 200 BC
The Celtíberos of the Roman era were popular for their arms, among them the Falcata. The curved inner blade provided a blow that could damage the enemy's shield and helmet. Of Greek origin, or possibly Etruscan, this Falcata sword was in southern Russia and also to Spain. The Falcata at the hands of the Spaniards was much feared by the Romans.
The blade is made of steel with high carbon content. This popular Celtic-Iberian sword has a 1065 steel blade with high carbon content. The button is made of solid brass.
