Velite! Kevin, what do you use for javelins? When you get around to it, let me know how you think a velite would carry 5 javelins in his shield hand, without damaging his bod with all those points. According to what we read, that's what they did. I can't figure it out, unless the grip on the parma is vertical, or, the shield is held sideways while carrying the javelins.
I don't have any javelin heads yet, but I have that on the to do list to make some like the ones seen on this cover. Several steps in the smithing, but nothing too hard. Sort of like miniature socketed pila.
Edited in: Kevin's post should actually follow mine...I hit the send button before attaching the picture. So I deleted the first post. Sigh. I got ahead of myself again.
