Roman Thrusting Spears

[Lucius Aurelius Lurco]

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a late Roman Hasta?

Look here, old fellow, let me help you out.
First, grab any one of these:

Any of these would be acceptable...there was a wide variety of spear heads used in late Rome, and a huge amount of variation in what was carried by the legions, never mind the Auxilia, depending on location.

Then, head to your local home supply store, like Home Depot or Lowes, and find where they sell the replacement tool handles, like for rakes and shovels. You should be able to find a handle there that's intended for rakes and other garden implements for just a few dollars- I believe the one I bought was $8 or so. You may need to fit the head to the shaft with a bit of whittling so it fits nicely. The simplest way to attach it is simply two part epoxy for wood and metal, like JB weld. You can drill and pin if you'd like, it's more authentic, but if it's just for hanging on the wall, who cares?

There you go mate, a late Roman thrusting spear for under $50 and an afternoon of very easy assembly.
