When creating your own Roman spear, make sure that you remember both ends of the weapon. Add the Pilum Butt Cap to your DIY weapon or collection. Historically, an end cap helps to protect the bottom of certain polearms such as spears. It also allowed the weapon to stick into the ground when being used against an enemy. Made from 12 gauge steel, this end cap has a conical shape. At the bottom of the cone is the socket for attaching a haft, not included. There is a small hole on one side of the end cap. The Pilum Butt Cap makes a wonderful addition to a historical reenactment display.

Perfect for the end of my 7′ Hanwei stave that I’m using to make a polearm
