Despre vârfurile de săgeți din castrul roman de la Buciumi, jud. Sălaj
About the roman arrowheads from the military auxiliary fort of Buciumi, Sălaj County

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to take a unique approach to presenting the arrowheads found in the Romanfortress of Buciumi, located in Salaj County, Romania. The paper is part of a larger experimentalwork, which, by looking at the found arrowheads, intends to analyse the bow and other tensile combat weapons used by Roman army formations dispatched to Dacia Porolissensis. In the catalogue below I analysed a number of 43 arrowheads, of which 28 were light tips (Su) for bows and 15 were heavy tips (Sg) for tensile combat machines. Most of the analyzed weaponry was found to be analogous to arms found elsewhere in Dacia Porolissensis.
