Random information on the term “SICA”:

The sica was a short sword or large dagger of ancient Thracians, Dacians and Illyrians, used in Ancient Rome too, originating in the Halstatt culture. It was originally depicted as a curved sword (see the Zliten mosaic as well as numerous oil lamps) and many examples have been found in what are today Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania. It is also depicted on Trajan’s Column; notably the Dacian king Decebalus is depicted committing suicide with one.

Possibly from Proto-Albanian *tsikā (whence Albanian thikë, “knife”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱey- (“to sharpen”) possibly via Illyrian or Thracian(“Sica” being the national weapon of the Thracians) According to Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines the name Sica comes from Proto-Indo-European root sek-, meaning “to cut”, “to section”, however De Vaan declares any connection to Proto-Indo-European *sek- to be formally impossible.

From a typological point of view, though there is a strong tendency towards standardization, the sica daggers can be organised in three main types that differ only by morphological aspects, not functional.
