Anotations

Scope note:

Roman javelins of Etruscan origin, issued to Roman soldiers from the Republican period to the 4th or 5th century CE. Their form and weight varied over time, but usually they were characterized by a long, narrow head attached to the staff by a flange or socket, and a weight attached to the staff below the head to improve balance and trajectory.
