    Wow, props to the Italian all around! :-/

    For Roma, it's just Spadone, or Spada a due mani. "Spadone a due mani" is redundant.

    For Littorio, her weapon is better called a Roncone.

    " lequali arme furono duo spadoni(e) da due(i) mani(e), l'uno per se, l'altro per Salustio. " -Lovino

    The author seems to have quoted the master "Lovino's" writing. You're right in modern Italian, but that's whay they used to call it in those days. For instance, Marozzo calls them as "Spada da due mane" And "Roncha"
