Horse Head Falcata

A falcata sword with a dagger refers to an Iberian curved sword paired with a smaller knife, sometimes integrated into the scabbard, creating a deadly, versatile set for pre-Roman warriors, known for its axe-like chopping power and sword-like edge, often decorated with horse-head hilts and used by figures like Hannibal’s troops against Romans. While the falcata excels at slicing and breaking armor, the accompanying dagger provides close-quarters defense or utility, a concept seen in historical finds like a falcata with dagger imagery on its scabbard.
