I did same experiments as Peter Connolly, with same conclusions that I included into a brief article about ten years ago.

Recently I found on italian wikipedia, at the pilum page, another citation of Plutarch from Camillus, 41, 3-6. Here it seems stated again something about bending and soft steel, but I don't know if the translation is correct. Maybe some RATer can check the translation?
