Miniature Iberian Falcata

The Celt-Iberians of Roman times were justly famed for their weapons, such as the Falcata; one of the most devastating swords ever made! The inward curving blade delivers a tremendous blow and could split both shield and helmet. The Almedinilla Falcata was one of the many found by Luis Maraver and Alfaro in 1867 during the excavations of the Iberian necropolis of Los Collados, next to the town of Cerro de la Cruz.
