Can you give an example of a weapon that isn't covered? I would have said the gladius, for instance, was from a literally classical age of cut and thrust - well, mostly thrust - swordsmanship. Maybe you mean something else.

But it seems funny to me to say a talent covers weapons from a particular historical era. You might as well have a talent for gladiatorial weapons, or weapons of the stone age.
