Victrix Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 What were some of new weapons used by the late roman army? I know that the late heavy infantry was armed with a lancea and darts instead of the pilum, and a spatha replacing the gladius, correct me if i'm wrong, but what other weapons were used by light infantry?

PerfectimusPrime Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Well, late Roman army used the contos heavily during the late Roman era. It was pike-like weapon devopled from the lance. Late Roman army used different kinds of throwing weapons. Like, darts, javelins and even pilums, IIRC, were not completely abandoned.
