More like a javelin really, as I understand it. The strap was used as a built-in spear thrower, like an atlatl. There are depictions of them in use on coins.

- narag 5y ago"Arrow" was the teacher's translation from the text, that could be Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar, the book that we followed most of the year. It's been a very long time... not sure if the word was (aprox.) missile o projectile, or something like that. Also my uncle taught me to make it the size of an arrow, maybe to prevent me from killing someone :-)
