Longche Weapon.


Recommended Posts

Quote

Larger heads, generally no butts, c, 5-7 feet long, often carried in pairs, the dual throwing/thrusting weapon; also the typical Greek 'hunting spear' as well as a weapon of war e.g Greek longche and Latin lancea. We could stretch this to cover the pilum and spiculum sometimes used by Roman cavalry, but these are generally throwing weapons.

Xenophon writing in the mid fourth century BC (Peri Hippikes 12.12) recommends that two Persian javalins be carried made using cornel wood.

The original idea was studying the evolve of Greek warfare under Phillipos II. under the name The True Phalanx of Phillipos II.
