Roman Leginaries were trained to throw pilum (javelins), hard, far and accurately. I can't, so I recruited a Team GB javelin thrower for my tests. Of course these weapons could be thrown back so an intriguing line in a Roman text explains that the head could be held in place using a wooden peg. This peg would break when it hits the target and makes the pilum harmless if thrown back. Clearly this needs making and testing; so I did. For budget medieval replicas of fantastic accuracy and value For commissions and custom work For merch For those who enjoyed Arrows vs Armour Many thanks once again to Michael Allison of Team GB and you can follow him here
