Thracian Weapons and Gear

Marko͘ · Aug 7, 2013

Hello, I was thinking of making a Thracian-themed OSP while I'm learning and as seeing there are no such yet, so why not?
So I've already made a Sica(texturing it now), doing a Falx now. Whilst I've done some research, it's mostly based of Rome: Total War, so not really legitimate. I was wondering if anyone can find some good depictions of Bastarnae units and looks, as well as all thracian weapons and armors. Cheers!

There's a good collection of images, of varying degree, in this mod thread, though of course it can be expanded (esp. with "primary sources"). And I see I've forgotten to post this pic of the famed rhom phaias (not to mention I've forgotten the mahairas as well, it seems).

Concept art:

Modern:

(sica or scalme)

Here's a vid as well
This seems like an interesting site as well, if you can get to load the pictures

The concept art is really handy, as well as the modern images. Made a sica and a falx, texturing them tonight. Thanks for it, Kununi got me some good ospreys too. Should be a nice pack when I finish it

The descriptions of Thracians of the Classical period are a little different to those of the Hellenistic period. The latter includes Thureos, long spear and Rhomphaia; the earlier includes Pelta.

Yes, there's a difference in the different time periods (as with anything else). And, indeed, from the 10 rhomphaias found in Bulgaria, the earliest 3 are dated to the IV c. BC.

Yeah, that image always irked me a bit.
