Aluscladiusmaximus,

Thanks for your posts on Roman arrows. The length of 6" or 150 mm is fine for arrows with broadheads or heavy fieldpoints, so I don't think they are to long. I was amazed by your fletchings, they look the wrong way round, but this shape does prevent the back of the feathers being crushed. I also had a look at your site and the tombstone of the auxillia archer is a very usefull reference. To me, the object held in the other foto is not of a single arrow, but of a bundle, fletchings forwards. No ax or machete! This would make good sense in regards to the bow held.
