Hello,
I would like to make a Roman spear, called a ‘pilum’. At the internet I can’t find enough information about the dimension of the average pilum.
I have printed a photograph of the spear and I have added numbers. They indicate the part of the spear which dimension I need. There is only one problem. The ‘pilum’ has to be very authentic. So could you give me the dimensions in centimeters,
and also add how sure you are about it in your reply?
Thanks – magnas gratias tibi ago (in Latin)
