Hi, still on the use of the pilum, I always wondered do Roman soldiers always throw pila in volleys or was there scope for an individual soldier to take out an enemy soldier by himself. I am assuming it is a volley weapon & an individual soldier risked incurring the wrath of his centurion by individual action but I was just curious.
