Sarissa (with butt-spike)
a “sarissa” was an 18-ft. long spear used by the macedonian main infantry unit the “pezhetairoi.” it was an advantageous weapon because most other armies at the time utilized a spear half as long as the sarissa. it was this weapon that made it possible to end the era of the greek “hoplite” warfare. the sarissa had a single iron tip and an iron “b-tt-spike.” the b-tt-spike would be jammed into the ground at an angle when defending to keep attackers at bay and to provide extra stopping power. the b-tt-spike also had a practical offensive purpose as well: if the sarissa broke on the battlefield, it did not just become a stick but, rather, two spears. also, when marching, the b-tt-spike came in handy to finish-off downed enemies without having to turn the sarissa completely around.
“boy i’m glad that my sarissa (with b-tt-spike) is longer than their hoplite spear! otherwise i’d have had to work to keep those greek b-st-rds at bay!”
-macedonian pezhetairoi quoted at the battle of chaeronea (338 b.c.)
