SPEAR
hasta (the proper word): lancea (λόγχη the lance or comparatively slender spear of the Greeks; used by the cavalry and also by huntsmen: Iphicrates added greatly to its dimensions: it was used also by the Spaniards and in the time of the emperors was the ordinary weapon of the praetorian guards): pilum (ὑσσός the javelin much thicker and stronger than the Grecian lance: its shaft often of cornel was partly square and five and a half feet long; the head nine inches long was of iron. It was used to thrust with; was peculiar to the Romans and gave the name of pilani to the division by which it was used): hasta velitaris (the lighter spear of the light-armed): verutum (the spear or spit of the Roman light infantry): gaesum (PROP. a Celtic weapon but adopted by the Romans: it was given as a reward to any soldier who wounded an enemy): sparus (a rude missile used when no better could be obtained): jaculum: spiculum (general terms for dart resembling the lance and javelin but smaller; used by the jaculatores and in hunting): sarissa (the long spear of the Macedonians): romphea (the Thracian spear with a long sword-like blade): sibina (an Illyrian spear like a hunting-pole): framen (a German spear with a short narrow but very sharp head): falarica or phalarica (a large spear of the Saguntines impelled by twisted ropes: it had a long iron head and a ball of lead at the other end and often carried flaming pitch or tow): matara tragula (spears used in Gaul and Spain: the tragula probably barbed. The Aclis and Cateia were much smaller missiles). [Chiefly from Dictionary of Antiquities: compare the account under MISSILE which is from Ramshorn.] To hurl a spear pilum conjicere also torquere; missile (telum etc.) mittere. The shaft of a spear hastile: the head of a spear acies: cuspis: spiculum: to be wounded by a spear hasta vulnerari: to transfix anybody with a spear hasta transfigere; one’s self induere se hastae: to brandish a spear hastam vibrare. A little spear hastula.
