Early Roman Hastati. Carthaginian citizen spear. Probably others.
> In every other case I can think of, the spear is either a secondary arm
meant to be thrown, or used by light troops, probably to skirmish/fence
with.
The Persians used line infantry with bow and spear. Roman armies sometimes used Lancea, one-handed spears that could be either thrown or used in melee.
