Hello
Like I said in the 'new recruits' topic I'm a painter of figurines. I'm about to start on a soldier of an auxiliary unit.
I read a lot of them now and most books say that auxiliary units didn't use a pilum but a 'common' spear.
Is this true because I saw some pictures on the internet of reenactors dressed like them but with a pilum? Did they use both or not?
