It also happened that in exceptional cases one javelin pierced, due to a very long arrowhead, a warrior and his companion standing right behind him.

The nails were fixed with a sleeve or a hammered stick, which broke on impact, preventing the enemy from reusing the pilum. In addition, after hitting a target (e.g. a target), the long neck of the spear bent or broke easily, restricting movements or forcing the enemy to throw the target away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dalej\"><a title=\"More about pilum\" href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wojsko\/uzbrojenie-legionisty-rzymskiego\/pilum\/\">More about pilum<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40034,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorie_ciekawostek":[80],"class_list":["post-103321","ciekawostki","type-ciekawostki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie_ciekawostek-army"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/103321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ciekawostki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/103321\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_ciekawostek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_ciekawostek?post=103321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
