Hello coin community!
Recently bought this at auction, where it was sold as "Roman Arrowhead". I don't think it's roman, but rather parthian. Unfortunetly, I'm basing my conclusions on very little. Can anyone shine some light on this? What's it rarety/value etc?

Weight: 32g Length: 74mm/7.4cm Material: Bronze

Bronze-Pre-Coin-Arrowhead Origin: ?

Thanks for any answers!

Not Roman nor Parthian, in my opinion (although I can see why you might think it's Parthian). I think it may be Chinese. See these for comparison:

Could it be a modern reproduction then? I bought more for value as a hisorical artifact, but I paid 60 USD...

Certainly could be, although I do like seeing that encrustation above the socket..although that could, of course, just be dirt applied to simulate an aged look. I recommend getting opinions regarding authenticity over on the Ancients board.
