Tactics: Employment of the Pilum
#10

All the sources seem to say they either discharge them, then engage with gladius, or as in Pharsalus, use them as sharp pointy stabbing implements!
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
[b]Legio XIIII GMV. (Q. Magivs)RMRS Remember Atuatuca! Vengence will be ours!
