This is my first thread here, I'm following RAT Forums from years, but being my English really bad (I'm Italian) I read, read and read finding all very interesting!! Now I changed my mind and I decided to add my poor English at your debate :evil: !!!
Like in the title my question concern the real dimensions of the Late Roman spearheads, I have a lot of good illustrations of the various type of spears/heavy trowing spears used in the Late Roman Army, I'm particulary interested in the dimensions of the blade of weapon like Veruta or lancea, expecially compared to the more common Javelins types.
The balades of the Veruta and lancea seem quite long and large in the drawings, what were their real dimensions, what was the max width of the balde and what was its max lenght? and those of the late kinds of pila? last: Cavalry types had similar dimensions?
