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
