Roman Plumbata In the hands of a Pro Thrower
In the later stages of the Western Roman Empire, around 250300 soldiers started to get issued with plumbata. These are small lead weighted darts (the plumb part of the name meaning lead in Latin) that are easy to throw and were fantastic at harassing the enemy significant distances away. But how far My new and not so secret way of finding out about throwing weapons is Micheal Allison who throws javelin for Team GB under 20 s and is having an amazing season and in his hands we can really see what these weapons can do and we have finally have numbers for mass, speed, momentum and energy. For budget medieval replicas of fantastic accuracy and value For commissions and custom work For merch For those who enjoyed Arrows vs Armour Michael Allison can be found here
