Greek spear help

[Dithrambus]

I actually wasn't referring to throwing the spear, though this was done in period, Archaic era hoplites are often depicted with two spears, one would be thrown and the other retained for close fighting, thrown spears are referred to in the literary record though this practice seems to have been abandoned by the Classical period but doesn't mean that spears couldn't be thrown. Javelins were used to great effect in battle by peltasts/light troops.

I was pointing out that the spear head in this particular set is cast bronze and much too heavy, also a bit on the large side for a Greek spear head, I liked mine at first, but the weight and balance are so bad that I decided to purchase a new one in steel, looks better and far better balanced. However, if you are looking for a display piece and like the look of this one then thats fine. It was just a friendly word of advice from someone who has purchased this spear head..which now resides in a bottom drawer.. mile:
