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.
