Falcata is a type of sword that originated in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). It is similar to the Ottoman yatagan, the Greek kopis sword or the Nepalese kukri knife.
The term falcata does not date back to antiquity, but was adopted towards the end of the 19th century and is based on the Latin term ensis falcatus (sickle sword).
The sword is indeed shaped like a sickle and this fact gives the weapon, among other things, the characteristics of an axe (the middle part of the blade). The pommel is usually zoomorphically terminated in the shape of a horse's or bird's head.
The falcata seems to have been spread on the Iberian Peninsula by the Celts. The Romans, who first encountered this sword, were so amazed by its properties and the quality of the material used that they began to adapt their armour and weapons to this sword, so it is possible that the falcata influenced the shape of the Roman sword gladius.
