Such bulges are also found on some Roman spear heads, but I don't have a clue whether they had a special function. Speidel suggested in his Riding for Caesar that the lancea head of the speculatores Augusti, the praetorian bodyguards, as depicted on one of their grave stones was shaped to help in crowd control.<br>
