It was originally used by the Medes, Scythians, Persians and Caspii, and was eventually a primary weapon used by the Greeks. The acinaces, of Scythian origin, was made famous by the Persians, and rapidly spread throughout the ancient world. The Romans believed that this weapon originated with the Medes but archeological evidence suggests it originated as a Scythian weapon. The acinaces is started between 14-18 inches in length but increased in size under the Persian development to upward of 26”. It has a double edge with the hilt resembling a bollock dagger. The pommel of the Scythian sword may be split or of the \"antenna\" type. This pommel is the most traditional split style. The sword was suspended from a belt on the wearer's right side.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;
