For real though the spatha is the most important thing Spain has given humanity.
Not as subhuman as blacks
neither are the spaniards
but still subhuman
Then they became free and look where they are now without their Roman overlords?
"Culture."
Interesting
the word "Espada" derives from Spatha
Yep
Which came from proto-Spain
It's the basic design of the European sword as we know it.
A long gladius
Vikings stole it and added their own hilt and pommel.
It says on the wiki that it was used by the Germanians
come at me romanbro
not by the Iberians
The iberians didn't use such large heavy swords
because they were weak
Because they favoured lighter infantry
aka weak
"oh our frail and girlish wrists can't handle norse swords"
atleast they weren't french I guess
Iberians and Celtiberians preferred skirmish type tactics
using speed and movement
your big words won't save you
your ancestors were bitchmade
So it wouldn't be in their nature to use such heavy swords
and why did they need tactics in the first place?
to fight...?
no
swing, done
if you're not a little bitch that is
wat?
kippis
ok
Is this a swede moment
it's a finnish moment
mixed with swedish history
