Scimitar
The Scimitar was a sword obtainable during the Renaissance, though it could not be gained in Roma. It could, however, be acquired by disarming a guard while Ezio was equipped with an empty heavy weapon sheath.
History
The Scimitar was an old Middle Eastern sword with a curved blade, mostly used by Arabs in horseback combat due to its light weight and ability to slash enemies with ease.

Trivia
- Although the scimitar is primarily Middle Eastern, it is introduced in the Italian Renaissance whereas it should have already appeared in Assassins Creed. However, some Saracen guards wield scimitars.
- The scimitar has some relation to the Old Syrian sword due to it being a longer thinner version of the scimitar, however it is less effecive on Assassin's Creed II but more effective on Assassin's Creed
