Sorry Valerius, I don't have a picture.<br>
<br>
I originally tried releasing and throwing plumbatae at a run because there seemed to be more of a challenge in doing this than standing still and throwing them. Also, I reasoned that it must have happened sometimes and in any case, if you can throw something accurately at a run you should be able to do even better standing still. I had also just finished a session of trying to see how easy it would be to hold two to three small javelins behind a horizontally gripped clipeus and then release and throw them on the run a la the well know column base sculpture from Mainz. Funny things for a first century legionary to be testing out but someone has to I suppose.<br>
