Pshhh even with the new cropping size Twitter can't handle the long boi that is the sarissapic.twitter.com/TnmogpAEpZ

I would swear there is another tomb painting where they do this - just have the sarisa soar out of frame - but I cannot for the life of me remember where it is and I am too lazy to pile through my notes to check.
Though I suppose if it exists and discovered early enough, it will probably be in the appendix of S. Miller, The Tomb of Lyson and Kallikles (1993)

Also just a note - I don't buy the reconstruction with metal-connecting-tube. I know of nothing for it in the ancient sources (?), it's not depicted on any of the representational artwork. Yes, we found a tube at Vergina, but I don't think we can be confident as to its purpose.

perfect timing! I just read on the wikipedia page about Sarissas and how they were carried in two pieces. Stated quite factually sadly. :/
