Weight and grip of sarissa and shield in macedonian phalanx
#17
Just thought I'd post a comparison of the large and small spear heads along side the sauroter we discussed earlier. It pretty clear that the large head is too large.

Also, any opinions on the function of the flanges on the sauroter?

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!"
