Thrand test a Dacian Sica made by Iamandi Christian from Romania on an analog Gel head to see if it was a viable weapon on the early battle field during the age of the Roman Empire and the Dacian wars. Iamandi Christian is an expert Bladesmith, Dacian Historian and reenactor who lives in Romania and has a workshop 3 miles away from Targoviste one of Vlad the impaler's old castles. This test is truly Historical many historians have argured the true purpose of the Sice and if it was truly a weapon to be feared like its bigger brother the Falx decimator of the first to arrive Roman Legionnaire before the modified shields and armor to combat it properly.
