Description: | Roman 'spearhead' made of iron. Although this looks like a spearhead, it does not have, nor was ever meant to have, sharp edges to the blade. The spear was a symbol of power in the Roman world, and this is an example of a blunt spearhead which would have been carried to show a man's status as an officer or official (second to fourth century, Arbeia Roman Fort).
