Sorry Palaiologos, but I can't seem to find a single valid argument in your previous post. Only name-calling, superficial insults and an attempt at logic. One do not expect spearmen to throw javelins at all, but to stand and move in a pointy formation with long wooden shafts presented forward. Also the Roman army of the 4th, 5th and 6th century AD was not the roman army of BC 100 to AD 150. For each century after its discipline and uniformity slowly worsened, did it not?
As for no mention of Kontos and infantry with Arrian...

I thought you said nowhere is there a mention of?
And no matter the dispute over historical accuracy, Fairline remains one of the best, if not THE best, unit artist. So bottom line, who cares. His units are excellent. If you really disagree with their armaments, why not modify them yourself. Changing those spears to swords, or simply shortening them, is very easy to do. Even I, a quite limited artist, knows how to draw a sword (pun intended).
And sorry if anything in the above writing is in any way offensive to any person or individual. I let out some metaphorical steam.
