Abstract
The pilum from Marius to Nero --; a reconsideration of its development and function
Peter Connolly
1 - 8
The paper attempts to trace the development of the pilum from the end of the second century BC to the middle of the first century AD. It also gives the results of tests carried out with reconstructions of pila of the spike-tanged type, and discusses the implications of these results and of the archaeological record.
A lorica fragment from Verulamium
Rosalind Niblett
67 - 73
Article on a fragment from a lorica segmentata, or cuirass, found during excavations in an area immediately outside the London Gate of Verulamium in 1961 but not published in the main excavation report.
A critical review of the Bishop version 1.01 Newstead lorica segmentata in the wake of a prototype's creation
L A Greenberg
97 - 103
The author gives a detailed account of the process of building a physical copy of the Bishop Version 1.01 reconstruction of the Newstead lorica segmentata, and assesses Bishop's reconstruction in the light of archaeological evidence and of problems in the construction of the physical copy, with suggestions for improvement of the design.
The onager according to Ammianus Marcellinus
Marc Cherretté
117 - 133
Article on the one-armed stone-thrower or onager, described by Ammianus Marcellinus, looking at the original Latin text and various translations of it, and at interpretations and models of the machine made in the past; offering guidelines towards a new translation; and considering the technical problems to be solved in reconstructing the onager. The author illustrates the basic principles required in such a reconstruction, and discusses the deployment of onagers with reference to documentary and archaeological evidence.
