It is generally believed that javelin is more easier to master than bow.
I would like to know if members can support or argue against this.
The upper deck oarsmen are thought more to support the hoplites "epivatae" with javelins and fight on land as psiloi or peltasts.
They even used harpoons if we interpret liberally the pottery fragment I presented.
I do take Paul's argument seriously about the origins of our sources coming from "landsmen".

And the question can also be if the "native" archers were enough to make the impact in a mostly mercenary or allied complement.

Kind regards
