Spiculum A spiculum is a late Roman spear that replaced the pilum as the infantryman ' s main throwing javelin around AD 250 . Scholars suppose that it could have resulted from the gradual combination of the pilum and two German spears , the angon and the bebra . As more and more Germans joined the Roman army , their culture and traditions became a driving force for change . The spiculum was better than the old pilum when used as a thrusting spear , but still maintained some of the former weapon ' s penetrative power when thrown . Vegetius mentions the spiculum in his military manual , but some scholars maintain that the spiculum was simply a different name for the pilum . Whatever the case , most historians accept that the spiculum evolved from the earlier javelins used by the Roman army . The main difference between the spiculum and the pilum was the length of the thin point . The spiculum tended to have a much shorter iron point . Thus , the spiculum was significantly shorter than its ancestor , perhaps 190 cm long . The spiculum had a medium iron shank attached to the head . Its exact design is not fully known as there were many variants . The spiculum fell out of favour with the Roman army some time after AD 400 .

The first incarnation of the fort was built between 1652 - 3 during the First Anglo - Dutch War . Little is known of the original structure and no trace of it has been found . The second structure was built on the same site by Robert Mylne under the orders of Charles II at the start of the Second Anglo - Dutch War in 1665 at a cost of £28 , 000 . It held off a Dutch fleet in 1667 which thought it was far more heavily manned and gunned than it actually was . In fact , the walls were unfinished and there were few guns . At the end of the war it was slighted when the government decided not to station a garrison in Lerwick , and it was unmanned when the Dutch burnt it in 1673 during the Third Anglo - Dutch War . It was rebuilt in its current form in 1781 and named after the wife of George III but has never seen service during hostilities since then . It housed a garrison during the Napoleonic Wars and was later a base for the Royal Naval Reserve . From 1837 - 75 it was used as the town jail and courthouse and later a custom house and a coastguard station . Due to land reclamation and subsequently erected docks and buildings in front of the fort , it no longer dominates the shoreline and buildings in close proximity means the overall shape can only be seen from the air . Today Fort Charlotte is managed by Historic Scotland , and is the base for Shetland ' s Territorial Army . Visitors must call to get the keys to visit .
