		It is very probable that, at the origin, Falx Dacica was a simple tool, used at the ingathering of the crop, and that it evolved because of the double role of the Dacian peasant, often forced to change the agricultural tools for the arms.
		The FALX by itself was a frightful weapon: the curved blade similar to a bill-hook, at the end of a wooden handle was proven to be a lethal weapon in the hands of a good warrior and all the populations around the Dacian territory learned to fear it.
		The ones fighting with Falx, which resembled regarding the way of using it with the Thracian romphaia, fought in small units, using the Scythians military techniques of attacking in a triangle with its angle of lead pointed forward.

	Harpochloa falx
		The caterpillar grass, Harpochloa falx, is a wonderful garden plant, which forms neat, dark green tussocks which persist throughout the year and produce unusual 'toothbrush' flowers in summer.
		Harpochloa falx is wind-pollinated, and copious amounts of pollen are produced by the exposed anthers and carried by air currents to the feathery stigmas.
		Harpochloa falx, with its rounded form, can either be grown individually as 'specimen' plants, or grouped close together (30 cm spacing) to provide structure within a garden.

	Skull Base Institute - Papers - A Fully Endoscopic Supraorbital Suprafrontal Approach to Frontal and Frontoparietal ...
		Parasagittal meningiomas are those that involve the sagittal sinus and the adjacent convexity dura and falx and they are classified into two general categories; the first involves only the lateral edge of the sagittal sinus and adjacent convexity dura and the second extensively involves the sinus, adjacent falx, and convexity dura [8].
		CT scan demonstrated a high left homogenous frontal/frontoparietal mass along the convexity in close proximity to the falx cerebri and with a wide dural base as well as mild hyperostitic reaction of the overlying bone, consistent with a parasaggital meningioma of the middle third of the falx cerebri.
		The surface of the falx as well as the origin of the tumor from the adjacent convexity dura were then electrocauterized and minor venous bleeders were electrocoagulated.

		The "falx cerebri" is a dural groove that runs between the two sides of the brain (front to back), and contains a large vein, the superior sagittal sinus (SSS).
		Parasagittal and falcine meningiomas are those that involve the SSS and the adjacent convexity dura and falx.
		The accompanying symptoms depend on the location of the tumor along the falx cerebri as these tumors are sub classified according to their location along the falx into anterior third (meaning along the anterior third of the falx), middle third and posterior third meningiomas.

	Questions, opinions that need adressing, please. Romanian-Dacian Falx, and armour. - Sword Forum International
		I apologize if I rambled on in my post; and yes, I do know of the falx's effectiveness and the modifications that the Romei legionares used, concerning the metallic straps that were modified on their helmet, and using lorica manica and greaves.
		Yes, I would like to know of the armour worn during the specific time, per say from when the falx was invented and used to its diminish among the populace as a weapon.
		It is interesting to note that while the Romans appear to have responded to the falx by adding limb armor (and in some cases switching to mail or scale shirts that extend lower than the popular lorica segmentata), the Dacians do NOT seem to have had any special defenses against their own weapon.
