New discovery shows spear wrapped in a rope
#6
Quote:I've never seen anything like this - was it done for hunting boar , is it like a harpoon or something like that?

Perhaps this is simplistic, but why not a rope to sling the spear across the man's shoulder or back? How would a cavalryman carry such a spear when not in combat?

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
