The Spear
Despite the sword being the most popular old weapon now,
the spear was much more commonly used back before the gun. Because the spear was much easier to make than
the sword, most armies were made up of as many swordsmen as possible and the
rest archers or swordsmen. The Egyptian empire was one of the few to reach
almost complete swords as it was superior to the spear.
There are many types of shields from before the medieval
times such as the normal one handed spear to be used with a shields. Other
kinds were the two-handed shield, the cavalry spear, and the two-handed cavalry
spear. Thus the spear is the most important weapon of the ancient times.
I'll admit I've never been fascinated with weapons, but that's actually really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
