* Leaf. There are the generic early form of arrow head that can be used both for hunting and for war. Numerous finds of these come from all of Regia’s periods.
* Shouldered. Just like the leaf shaped heads, these are multi-purpose heads and were used throughout Regia’s period. Many arrowheads are not strictly either leaf or shouldered and were often something in-between.
Many of these are regional or period specific.<br>
