Pila Troworum

Considering thet the Trow culture is roughly based on that of the Romans (although Pax Troworum was hardly a good idea for the non-Trow...), it would seem reasonably that, back when they used iron, they might have used javelins, or pila. Considering the strength of a Trow kick, I'd reckon that a Trow with a pilum would have a similar effect to a ballista, capable of impaling several ranks of troops. But, although useful, you don't need iron to make a javelin, as a stone head or simple sharpened wooden stake would be almost as good. And with that weight, who's going to throw it back?
