and yes, Moros' sig has changed; he is advertising a new, unknown faction. I'm wondering what it is.

*Actually, meinpanzer was the one who explained it for Saba'. he noted that, while they may have been used, bows predominated (as missile weapons). It was a PM. but there is no conclusive evidence, for Saba' at least, that javelins were used.

*mentioned with ehiopeians, and by the 7th century, in yemeni hands.
After some more reading and concepting the outline of the Sabaean army together with paullus, I can tell you that there will be javelins. Though not sure if there gonna be that many. Probably for peasant levies and light cavalry.
