Longer than a gladius yes, but why do you assume the have thrown
Down their pila or spears?
Obviously these lines of pikemen were not very deep?
Surely the Parthin Cataphracts had lances at cahrrae?
Yet retreated from contact to let the archers
Wear them down! This would imply that they anticipated heavy casualties
From a frontal assault!

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
