hasta
From Warlike
Q1076351
The hasta was the spear carried by early Roman legionaries, for which the Roman soldiers known as hastati were named. In later republican times, the hastati were re-armed with pila and gladii, and the hasta was only retained by the triarii. The hasta would also be reintroduced in the Late Roman army in conjunction with the spatha.
