Kassandra wielding the Hoplite Javelin

The Hoplite Javelin was a type of javelin used during the 5th century BCE. Though mostly used by hoplites, as the javelin's name suggests, by far they were not the only ones.

During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra commonly found this weapon in the inventories of blacksmiths and looted it from bodies and chests during her travels throughout Greece.[1]
