This drawing, while drawn by Fiore de'i Liberi, depicts the longsword blade vertical and not horizontal; however this is simply an inaccuracy.

Posta di Bicorno, meaning "Two-horned Guard", is a posta instabile featured briefly in the beginner's plays. It is similar to Posta Breve in that is entirely a thrusting position, but the blade is held with the edges facing horizontally rather than vertically, [citation needed] adding (almost ironically, it would seem) more stability in thrusting than Posta Breve, even though the former is classed as instabile and the latter is stabile.
