Menaulatoi
Grip firmly and brace. The sharp bit does the rest.The Menaulatoi were a specialised, elite infantry unit trained in the use of the 'menaulion', a heavy spear approximately three metres in length (although some could be almost four). It is a notable weapon not only for its thick shaft and half-metre blade, but for how it was used. Although menaulatoi were often placed to augment skirmishers, or used to plug gaps between infantry ranks, there are also many instances of their use as shock troops. Menaulatoi would strike out at approaching cavalry, catching them unawares and goring both steed and rider.
