Product description
This shaft cap is based on originals used by hoplites in ancient Greece. The pointed shaft cap, the sauroter, was nicknamed the "salamander killer" because it could be used to fix the spear into the ground during the phalanx formation. This saurotercould also be used as a thrusting spear when the shaft of the spear was broken, or when fighting in loose formation. Additionally, it served as a counterweight, making the spear better balanced. In a phalanx formation, warriors in the rear ranks could kill fallen enemies by holding their spears vertically and delivering downward thrusts while walking over the enemy.
