Sica este colegul nostru care migreaza toamna si se intoarce primavara.

The 'blood channel' referred to in the text is more properly known as a fuller. The idea of 'blood channels' has been widely discredited.

this article could use a little reworking. it has quite a few sentances that are at least hard to read perhaps gramatically incorrect (such as tense shifts). i dont know enough about this topic to rewrite it myself (my knowledge pretty much comes from what ive read on this wikipedia page ;-) ), but id appreciate it if someone took a look at it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavrielyosef (talk • contribs) 04:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the image of the sica should be turned up-down to show its cutting edge verse, IMO, as in the present form it is misleading about it Cunibertus (talk) 19:15, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'd like to see any sort of citation showing this to be the case, since none is given except by extension to the falx (which I also think requires attestation). Roman art (and this is inarguably the most common and notable context for the Sica, despite its Dacian associations) depicts the sica curving upwards when held waist high, which would require the hand to be super-awkwardly supinated if the concave edge was the one used to strike -- a downward curve in this posture would be the expected one if the premise is to be believed.67.101.119.99 (talk) 20:09, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow I doubt that the detailed information given on different variants of this weapon, etc, came from the sources listed in the references, which appear to be pieces about a certain type of people, not the most likely place to find technical info about historical weapons. That would make it unreferenced at best, and the tone just somehow suggests OR to me..45Colt 22:41, 12 November 2015 (UTC) .45Colt 22:41, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to point out that the word sica might be related to semitic or Hebrew word sakin - knife (סַכִּין).
