The 6th-c. AD military treatise of the emperor Maurikios (Strategicon) amply describes the use of hunting both as training and as logistical tool.
The 4th-c. AD mosaics in the villa of Piazza Armerina show two large mosaics (the 'big hunt' and the 'small hunt') of military engaged in hunting activities using both spears and shields (but no armour).
