Robert,<br>
The plumbata you've seen on my group's website has broken on it's first "try". A friend of mine has made some, a bit shorter (about 40 cm long), and we tried them a few month ago : it can be thrown at about 30-40 meters !!!! Great kind of weapon !!!<br>
But how to put them into a too much "dished" shield ?<br>
Unless you imagine they could have been carried elsewhere... into a kind of quiver, like arrows.<br>
