Description
Description
This single-barbed bronze socketed arrowhead was used by Roman Auxiliary Archers stationed throughout Judea during the 1st century AD, the same historical period as the life of Jesus.
The small side barb was designed to catch in flesh, clothing, or leather armor, making the arrow more difficult to remove after impact and increasing its effectiveness in combat. 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.
Length: 5.4 cm (2.13 inches)

Crafted from bronze, these arrowheads reflect a long eastern Mediterranean tradition of bronze projectile weaponry that continued alongside iron examples during the Roman period. The socketed base allowed the arrowhead to be firmly mounted onto a wooden shaft for reliable military use.
