Product description
The word "hasta" means spear in Latin. The early Roman legionaries employed the hasta. During the republican period, the hasta was replaced on a large scale by the pilum and gladius. The cavalry and auxiliae continued to utilise the hasta. The pilum was intended for throwing from a longer distance, whilst the hasta was designed for close combat. It was therefore well-suited to use against cavalry. The hasta was historically crafted from bronze or iron.
The hasta is constructed from metal and comes without a wooden shaft. It is semi-sharp and is therefore suitable for decorative use only. It may also be blunted.
