Quote:On that subject, does anyone know if Sarmatians used 3 or 4 fledgings per arrow? I found some good pictures of arrowheads that have been found, I love ancient arrows!!!
Well, personally I think the best article on the subject of arrows is the one published online by Caballo. Although not especially sarmatian, and not 1st century it has the basics in there. I personally go with 3 feathers, as per the Dura founds.
