Ave, Mithras,
Whilst I can't speak to the Legios, I canspeak from experience about the Navy and to a lesset extent the Cavalry, (John Conyer, where are you now that we need you????). The Classis , being an auxilary, really did not neet the extra weight of the pilum....The Javelin and lance would work fine and not weight as much. The Cavalry, had a similar problem, one's horse can carry only so much weight, so again, a lance and javelin would be easier to carry. I may be way off base, but its something to think about. P.M. John Conyers and see what he has to say about Cavalry and Pilums.
Salve, Frater Mithras,
