Product description

The set consists of a steel spear tip and brass butt cap with which to construct your own Greek dory. The hoplites from the 2nd and 3rd century BC. used the dory, or the one-handed spear. The spear consisted of a shaft 2 to 3 metres long, a spear tip and a butt cap (sauroter). The shaft cap was useful for inserting the spear into the ground, for counterbalance, and in the event that the shaft broke off it could be employed as a spare spear. Both the spear tip and the butt cap have pre-drilled holes. Shafts and other accessories are available separately.
