🏹⚔️ Rome's Pilum Had a Hidden Trick | Why This Roman Javelin Bent on Impact
🏹 Why would Roman engineers create a javelin that could bend after hitting a shield?
The Roman pilum was more than a simple throwing spear. ⚔️ Ancient descriptions discuss its long iron shank and unusual fastening system, including a version where one fastening could break and allow the iron portion to bend after impact.
In this cinematic CGI reconstruction, Empire Echo reveals the pilum's construction, the hidden connection between wood and iron, and what could happen when the weapon struck an enemy shield.
🔬 Watch the mechanism transform from an ordinary-looking javelin into a clever piece of Roman military engineering.
