		The hastati were armed with a hasta, a spear like the ones used by the triarii, the gladius and a smaller shield, the parma.
		As the first battle line, the Hastati were immediately behind the velites and in front of the principes, which were in front of the triarii.
		The hastati contained the young fighters and carried body armour and a rectangular shield, the scutum, which should remain the distinctive equipment of the legionary throughout Roman history.

	Triarii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When suffering defeat, the first and second lines, the Hastati and Principes, fell back on the Triarii to attempt to reform the line and allow for a counter attack or withdrawal of the other lines.
		When the Principes and Hastati of Republican army were rearmed with javelins, the Triarii retained their long spears and scuta and continued to fight as a phalanx.
		If the initial attacks of the javelin- and sword- armed troops could not break an enemy, the Triarii served as a strong point around which the army would regroup (in the same manner as in much later centuries squares of musketmen were to provide a defensive screen for reforming cavalrymen).

	Legione romana
		Ma dovette esserci senz'altro un tempo in cui gli hastati avevano l'asta, da cui deriva il loro nome; i triarii, detti anche pilani avevano il pilum; e i principes, cioè “i primi” erano schierati in prima linea.
		Fra i manipoli degli hastati venivano lasciati degli intervalli, che corrispondevano alla fronte dei manipoli stessi, circa 18 m; i manipoli dei principes non erano collocati dietro a quelli degli hastati, ma dietro ai loro intervalli, ed i manipoli dei triarii erano collocati dietro agli intervalli dei principes.
		Così che, nel caso gli hastati, dopo il lancio preliminare del pilum, avessero la peggio nei duelli corpo a corpo con il nemico, ripiegavano, passando attraverso gli intervalli dei principes, mentre questi avanzavano attraverso gli intervalli lasciati fra i manipoli degli hastati.

		Hastati were dictated by function rather than what they wore, therefore it was not surprising to see Hastati in different shields or helmets.
		The left Hastati is actually converted from a Spanish Scutari, it is a somewhat ironic conversion because the Scutari is portrayed as one who got armor from a dead Hastati in the first place, now in plastic he is being converted back into a Hastati.
		As a side note: We elected to mold the Hastati all wearing breastplates and the Princeps all wearing chain mail even though that was not the case in reality for the sake of uniformity, ease of design and simplicity for novices to Roman history.

		Nazwy te pochodziły z poprzedniego systemu wojskowego, miały charakter tradycyjny i nie określały właściwych funkcji, gdyż hastati nie byli włócznikami, principes nie prowadzili oddziału, a owi trzeciorzędni składali się z najbardziej doświadczonych i najlepiej uzbrojonych żołnierzy, stanowiących ostateczny ratunek w groźnej sytuacji; stąd łacińskie powiedzenie res ad triarios fecit (doprowadzić rzecz do ostateczności).
		Hastati i principes otrzymali doskonale skonstruowane oszczepy (pilum), mieli ponadto przy boku, po prawej stronie, krótki miecz - gladius, nadający się raczej do pchnięcia niż do cięcia (oficerowie miecz ten nosili z lewego boku), oraz owalną tarczę - scutum.
		Do bitwy hastati i principes maszerowali w szyku otwartym (dla łatwości ciskania pilum), triarii zaś w szyku zamkniętym.
