Roman spears | History Forum Re: Roman "spears" Guardsman and possibly some specialist legionaries continued to use thrusting spears (hastae) in the Imperial Period Nonetheless, the pilum and its descendants remained the favorite Roman polearms for the duration of Antiquity
Did the Pilum Bend after penetrating a shield? - History Forum A pilum hitting a shield or armor and not penetrating could cause the point to deform or a bend in the shank immediately after the point Overall, the pilum was designed and optimized for penetrating flesh (man and beast) and shields, to a lesser extent armor
First File Or First Spear? - History Forum In Latin, Pilum always refers to a very specific type of javelin, not a spear (which is called Hasta) While the generic hasta could also refer to a javelin, throwing spear, pilum never means spear, only javelin, at least in the context we are using it

Why did the Atlatl fall out of use in Europe? - History Forum The Roman pilum was never meant for long range, it was specifically meant to be a *heavy* javelin, thrown point-blank into an enemy formation to disrupt it immediately before a charge
