ANCIENT BYZANTINE IRON ARROWHEAD. A rare and collectible early Byzantine iron socketed arrowhead with elongated and narrow profile. It has a compact barbed head. Long neck and relatively light overall construction for its length. The narrow elongated form was practical for penetration and distance rather than broad cutting. The barbs are also relatively restrained. Byzantine and late Roman military arrowheads became progressively slimmer and optimized for mass military use. Much longer than earlier shorter Roman iron arrowheads, this type of war relic is highly sought after. Weight – 24.05 Grams. Size – 15.5×1.3 cm. Originally found in the Balkans.
