Thats an interesting comment. Where do you base that one. I got the impression that Hastae (for infantry use) and Lancea are in the same lenght range, but they mainly differ in shaft thickness. I've also 2 lancea which are also about 2 meters in length, but a thinner shaft and therefore more for throwing than for pushing.
