Iron and bronze...

Iron Roman? arrowhead, 14 cm/ 5,5 inches, and bronze hoof, part of a larger bronze horse...

Wow, that iron arrowhead is extraordinary! I don't know anything about arrowhead types, but for some reason my brain is thinking "medieval".

Nice little piece of bronze sculpture too. 👍

Yes, these twisted shank types are medieval, not ancient. Here’s a site I use for medieval iron arrowheads. If you scan way down on the linked page, you’ll see some similar.

I would assume the shank was twisted in order to work-harden it and make it less prone to bending?

I don’t know, but that does make good sense. Seems plausible.
