A spear is basically a pointed stick. As soon as people realised the point was more lethal if harder theny they started adding a point of bone or metal. The soldiers of the Roman Legions carried such weapons, usually 5 feet long with ahrdened steel point. This was known as a 'pilum' . The Zulu warriors of southern Africa also favoured a similar weapon, but slightly shorter. This was the 'assegai'.
