Looking for the name of these Roman ??.

I think it´s very likely that caltrops will reappear on the battlefield since most countries has outlawed anti-personnel mines. They are relatively cheap to produce, can be stored indefinitely and is relatively easy to recollect with metal detectors when the war is over. Besides, its a more humane weapon than a mine, since while it takes out the combatant stepping on it for weeks, it will not cost him his leg (if treated properly).

They are vicious on a logging truck, fully loaded, on twisty mountain roads and on Motorcross cross country bikers on rallies. I haven't heard of any fatalities yet, but on pneumatic tires at high speeds, they are horrific.
