Salve,
Might I ask a stupid question? Thanks. So, does anybody know any references from ancient authors on the use of the plumbata? Does anyone know its original purpose? It looks much like a scorpion bolt to me exept the weight on the top...or could it have been used for a cestropshendon? Those options would make more sense than just throwing by hand... :?
