Sibyna
Type of ancient spear
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sibyna (Ancient Greek: Σιβύνη and Συβίνη and Συβήνη and Σιβύνιον and Ζιβύνη) was a type of spear[1][2][3][4] used for hunting or warfare (see boar spears[5]) in ancient times.[6]
A long heavy spear the Illyrians used was described by the poet Ennius according to Festius.[7] Hesychius of Alexandria, (5th century) calls it similar to a spear. Suda lexicon (10th century) calls it a Roman javelin.
