Isn't this so beautiful?! I'm pretty obsessed with the reverse design of these bronzes from NW Spain (Lugo perhaps?) https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/search/browse?city_id=908 …pic.twitter.com/fipw9h2D6Y

What makes a falcata different from other (similar?) swords? Is it still a falcata if it's found in Italic contexts?https://livyarrow.org/2019/10/14/a-falcata-at-praeneste/ …

Came across this image today and was reminded of our convo. Notice the double spears juxtaposed with the shield. RIC Galba 20 http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).gal.20 …pic.twitter.com/ySO7BIg4jk

Right. Certainly javelins of some sort, but certainly not pila, and we wouldn't expect the hasta velitaris so late. Could be soliferrea or perhaps some frozen iconographic reference where this figure has always been supposed to hold a pair of javelins.
