Roman Pilum Spear

•	Beautifully Crafted
•	Portable Three Piece, Easy Storage
•	Wood Construction
•	Overall Length is 75 Inches

This Pilum is a re-creation of later Roman footman styles (circa 100 A.D.). It features a long shaft wrapped with rope and a heavy steel triangular tip. The shaft is riveted powerfully to an angular wooden guard that is reinforced with the standard wide and flat tang of the shank. This guard would have protected the legionnaire's hand. The legionnaire could also have wedged this guard against the inside of his shield, making it more difficult for someone to pull the pilum out of his hand. The heavy gaurd and long wooden shaft gives the weapon a nice weight and would have helped a Roman soldier penetrate his opponent's shield.

The Pilum comes in three pieces - This is great for transporting the weapon.

Did you know that Strongblade sells tempered swords and non-tempered swords? The tempered swords are heat treated to have a harder surface yet retain a more elastic inner core than non-tempered swords. This means they hold a better edge when sharpened and are less likely to permanently deform or bend.
