Thank you, Crispus! That is indeed very enlightening. Don't worry, I LOVE research that makes us all realize that we were all wrong!

Not to be arguing too much with Peter Connolly, but I have thrown my pilum through a shield (and it stuck firmly in the post that the shield was leaning against), but on other throws it has also bent. I'm pretty sure it's the same pilum, not one of my other ones. It *is* forged from steel stock, by the way. I would love to see more accurate measurements of suriving pilum heads so that we can make closer replicas.

Valete,

Matthew
