Quote:...or quite possibly xyston butts, the equivalent of sauroters.....Yes! I second this. Many of them are so wide and the shaft would have been so thick that a javelin like that would have weighted more than a hoplite spear! Not only they were big spear butts,but their shafts were also considerably tappered.
