Why do 1st Century Roman groups avoid combat
I can certainly see that throwing a sharp piece of metal on a stick at someone could be considered dangerous. :wink:

It makes me think of some scenes from old films such as Fall of the Roman Empire (1964) where extras had javelins thrown at them as they charged down a hill (in the battle in Germania scene). I wonder how much the extras were payed to film such hazardous scenes. Apparently in the film The 300 Spartans (1961) a guy cops a javelin right in the face. :o

Tantae molis erat Romanam condere gentem.

What a lot of work it was to found the Roman race.
