From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francisca est securis iaculata, qua Franci, Visigothi, Saxones et aliae gentes Germanicae usi sunt. Franciscae, ante pugnam cum gladiis, iaculabantur a peditibus, ita scutos rumpentes. Fuerunt in proeliis franciscae inter saecula V et VIII.
Dum Gregorius Turonensis haec arma bipennes appellavit, Isidorus usus est franciscam. Ita Isidori Etymologiae de franciscis dicit:
Franciscae erant 15cm longitudine et 900gr pondere.
