The light armed cohorts discussion and evidence
#27
I'm obviously not a fully-fit legionary, but, it is certainly adequate to hit the enemy with a horizontal throw at about 15 to 30 feet for myself, the impact would stop them dead. The use of the other pila with a longer range would have already diminished their charge before reaching that range.
It would be a real moral crusher, even for the 'naked fanatics'......obviously these are just supposition.
