We all know the enormous degree of professionalization of the Roman Army. His legions were perfectly oiled pieces, a complex machinery that managed to present Rome with countless laurel wreaths. Among all the weapons of the legionary soldier, one shines with its own light: THE PILUM. This was a throwing spear, and the typical long-range weapon of the legionnaire. It was adopted by the Romans during the Samnite Wars and it is very likely that its origin lay in the Samnite people themselves.
Classical writers such as VEGETIUS, POLYBIUS, APPIANUS and TITUS LIVIO wrote about the PILA in ancient times. In its texts there are references to the DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE of the PILUM. However, ARCHEOLOGY also provides great information.
To make this video I have mainly used the work of M.C.Bishop, "THE PILUM. The roman heavy javelin". Published by OSPREY PUBLISHING, number 55 of its Weapon series. A highly recommended book and priced content that I recommend purchasing. I have also used material from KZitem channels. In order of importance: The "TOD'S WORKSHOP" channel, the "A PINCH OF HISTORY" channel and the "LEGIO IX HISPANA" channel. I am very grateful to all of them.
