Roman Pilum Javelin

Our (square) pilum is a faithful replica of those carried by Roman Legionaries of the 3rd century. The wooden shaft is slightly thicker than the originals – allowing it to be reused! The hand-forged head is packed separately and is socketed into the shaft – held firm by three pins. It is perfect for re-enactment, theatrical use or a great display piece.
