This frame (33X28CM) displays
two ancient iron
arrowhead
and one Roman coin. These
ancient items are mounted into a picture frame that was specially prepared using
a number of natural elements such as clay and hessian material to feature such
items.
Arrowheads Most
arrowheads are very hard to categorize. Roman battlefields would have been
littered with weapons from the roman armies, their allies and their enemies.
Certainly most of what is found today is a mixture of Roman era, Dark Ages &
Middle Ages from BC to about 1600 AD. Today, most of the ancient iron arrowheads
are coming from Eastern Europe. Many types and sizes of iron arrowheads were
used over the centuries but to simplify matters there were only a few categories
that all types would fall under, they include- Anti-cavalry arrowheads, designed
to bring down the horse along with the rider. Anti-infantry arrowheads are
another type, which are very broad compared to the armor piercing arrowheads.
The amour piercing arrowheads are heavy and narrow with sharp points and totally
different from the anti-cavalry types
Coins dated somewhere
between 100-400 AD
