Like a Bill Wurtz prequel.
They've got archers. On horses. Horse archers.
The horse archers thing sounds far fetched but someone literally got shot with a crossbow near my place about 3 weeks ago so who knows.
Gladius was usually worn as a backup, so you could throw a javelin and then pull it
That and they were used with a massive shield that was generally meant to be used in a phalanx.
Spearmen/pikemen directly behind the shield wall and if they get past the spears/pikes there's a wall of shields and gladii to deal with
I own a trebuchet for home defense, because that is what the founding fathers intended.
George Washington would shed a tear if he could see that Americans have been reduced to defending themselves with weapons that don't involve fire, loud bangs, and clouds of black smoke.
