Description
Description
This finely crafted Roman arrowhead dates back to the 1st century AD, a period marked by the military might of the Roman Empire. Measuring 4.2 cm in length, it features a classic trilobate design with barbed edges—engineered for maximum penetration and retention upon impact. Forged in bronze, its slender tang was designed to be socketed into a wooden shaft and secured with bindings.
Such arrowheads were commonly used by Roman archers in both warfare and frontier defense, particularly by auxiliary troops stationed along the empire’s vast borders. Its aerodynamic shape and barbs made it a highly effective ballistic weapon during sieges and skirmishes.
Length: 4.6 cm / 1.81 in
Biblical Significance: Arrowheads of this style were likely in use during the lifetime of Jesus and throughout the New Testament era. Roman soldiers equipped with such weaponry patrolled Judea, including during events such as the crucifixion and later Jewish revolts, linking this artifact to the militarized presence described in the Gospels.
