This is very...Thank You Dario for interesting post. This is very valuable info, because most people believe, that cavalry in antiquity (B.C.) were mainly skirmish cavalry and only few people are interested in effects of javelins from horseback. This can be used as parallel. I think Christian Cameron tested against hoplite panoply and said, that 30 m is effective kill range of horsemen with javelin against footman. In this book https://www.amazon.com/Hippeis-Cavalry-Ancient-History-Warfare/dp/0813318041/ Worley says effective range for javelin from horseback is 30-60m. I have to test it myself:)By the way, what's the source for that scabbard for sabre and two javelins? Brilliant idea how to solve practically holding of weapons. I have another idea for historical fiction or serious work about military history and for reenactment!Vavčahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663274775301759894noreply@blogger.com
