Roman spear copy or something else?

I guess the long shank is what makes it look Roman, but a pilum shouldn't/doesn't have a leaf-shaped point as far as I know.

Jasper,
Can you make Earthling's attachments visible? The five posts rule must be a nightmare (and possible deterrent?) for newcomers.

It's only two (and I'll set it to one)! It's a pain in the butt for newcomers, I'm sure. I could show you the log of attempted and successful spam registrations if you like...

I agree that you want to keep the spam out. However, I have noticed that some newcomers' first post is a query with attachments and, of course, ordinary members can't see them. I don't know if the newcomers are told why or warned that this can happen, so that they don't get discouraged.

There is a message when you're posting your first post. It's mostly up to mods and admins to ensure that it gets approved asap, of course, to reduce irritation.

Anglo-Saxon type D2d/e and D3a? from "The Spearheads of the Anglo Saxon Settlements" M.J.Swanton. Funny now I'm posting I can see the images and think it could easily be African it doesnt look Anglo Saxon left the above for reference.
