<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3316704, member: 72790"]I was at a coin show a few says ago and a table with ancient coins also had a number of artifacts such as these two arrow heads, which I would like to know a bit more about. The seller said they came from the Balkans, possibly Thracia and may have been associated with Trajan's campaign into Dacia, early first Century AD. He said that hoards of items like these are now being frequently found and put onto the market. The one arrow head, both of bronze, are differently shaped and one is very small, something I would think may have been used for hunting small game. It sees too small to be used as a weapon. The second seems about the right size for a weapon. The denarius in the image is just to give an idea of relative scale. If any readers have any thoughts I would very much like to hear them. Thanks[ATTACH=full]879191[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
