Throwing a Pilum in Armour - How far can a pro throw?
The Romans used a pilum or a version of it for hundreds of years and it was used to harass the enemy from a distance and help break up shield walls and formations just before fighting lines clashed and it was very effective. But how far could a legionary throw one? I cannot throw well, but Michael Allison throws javelin for Team GB; he can throw! So I have recruited him again to throw for me wearing no armour (like skirmishers), just a mail shirt and wearing the mail and holding a shield. Running and standing. The first Pilum film with Michael is here • Throwing a Pilum - How far can a Pro throw?
