They had little armour penetrating power, but their barbed heads made them very suitable for crippling an unarmoured man or animal, while they greatly outranged conventional javelins. Initially introduced in Diocletian’s newly created Legiones Palatinae, the Joviani and Herculiani, they rapidly spread, first probably to the Mattiari, then to other Legiones, and finally to Auxilia.” (Phil Barker)
