Yes, I think that with this they want to blabber the artifacts of the Huns, such as Hungarian runic records in Scandinavia, Irish and so on. It is known that the Vikings were hucksters, but nothing is known about the fact that they had military affairs at any acceptable level, apart from the predatory raids on the peaceful SamiFictitious conquests of the Vikings?
Where did you come up with this bullshit? The Parthians never conquered Rome as their war was in the Middle East. I wondered why I never heard of it. It never happened.After the Parthians destroyed the Roman army, they entered the Colosseum, fired at the nobility and issued coins "Parthian victory" in Rome. In fact, after that there was no separate Rome as an independent state. It was called Rome only for propaganda purposes, it was an appendage of Parthia at the time
Different sword for different uses. The gladius, which you're discussing above, was indeed almost exclusively used for stabbing. It was designed to stab around, under, and over the shield wall known as a phalanx. Plus they were bronze and didn't hold an edge for shit. A kanta, made from high quality steel was for cutting as well as stabbing, and an English broadsword was for cutting exclusively, basically an axe with a full length head. Material, culture, and fighting styles all contribute to how battles or duels are fought."swords" of the legionnaires were the size of a knife for chopping cabbage in the kitchen, no more than 60 cm. These are not swords at all, just long daggers

Oh, shut up! Stop spreading lies.Yes, I think that with this they want to blabber the artifacts of the Huns, such as Hungarian runic records in Scandinavia, Irish and so on.

This is true. I see no reason to believe that there were any other Vikings, except for worthless hucksters and robbers. No traces of such "Vikings" have been found
You may be conflating a long sword with a broad sword.English (not really, it's form is common throughout Europe) broadsword most assuredly used the tip as well.
