Description
Description
These iron bodkin armor-piercing arrowheads were used by Roman Auxiliary Archers stationed throughout Judea during the 1st century AD, the same historical period as the life of Jesus. Their long, narrow spike-like form was designed for deep penetration against shields, leather armor, and layered textiles commonly used in ancient warfare.
Authentic battlefield relics from the Roman presence in the Holy Land, these arrowheads provide a direct connection to the military environment of Judea during the time of Jesus.

Crafted from iron, these arrowheads were specifically designed for strength and penetration in combat. Iron construction allowed the narrow bodkin tip to pierce defensive equipment more effectively than broader arrowhead types, making them especially suited for military use by Roman auxiliary forces in the eastern provinces.
