Does anyone happen to know when darts were adopted by the Roman army. Everything I have seen indicates that they were not used until the around the 4th century (Jovians and Herculians?).
And then this comes up from Josephus
"till at length one Priscus, a centurion, shot a dart at him as he was leaping and playing the fool with himself, and thereby pierced him through; upon which a shout was set up both by the Jews and the Romans, though on different accounts."
