Is there any weapon/armour the Romans invented ?

[Ebusitanus]

Hi, acording to the literature I have here, as it seems, the Iberian "Phalarica" was the first descartable lance with possible repair after the battle. The idea behind this weapon was the same of the Pilum with a bendable tip and even the central lead weight.<br>
Its discovery as a misile and its efectivity made Scipo Africanus one of its greatest fans who introduced the weapon to his army in its fight against the Iberian Chieftains Indibil and Mandonio after the end of the second Punic War. <p></p><i></i>
