arrowheads

[D B Campbell]

I think their firecage is based off the one found for a Roman Scorpio bolt, but I don't know the find or it's location. Someone with higher knowledge of such matters like Dr. Campbell could tell you.

Uncanny. Invoke me by name and I appear! :wink:

Incendiary arrowheads were found at the Antonine Wall fort of Bar Hill. They are normally thought to have been designed for a hand-bow (the garrison was an archer unit), but I can't think of any reason why they couldn't have been fitted to a ballista bolt (by the Antonine period, arrow-shooters are probably of cheiroballistra-type design, rather than scorpio/catapulta design).
