Quote:Very nice! How small is it, btw?
Now wrap a plumbata around it to get a plumbata et tribulata. :wink:
Whoops, I just realized I didn't answer the question- sorry Robert :wink: This one's legs are about 6.5cm long, but that's probably one of the larger sizes- one from Vindonissa has legs just 3.5cm long.
And what's the purpose of a plumbata et tribulata exactly- a thrown weapon that can also be used on the ground?
I've wondered if a tribulus could be thrown LOL And if the lead blob in the middle is big enough, embedded nails should work, although that'd mean using a lot of lead for a sufficiently dense tribulus field I'd think...
