A CHAPTER FROM THE PAST

Life along the Danube Limes.

S P Q R

Around AD 200–300, the Danube was one of Rome’s defining northern boundaries. Fortified positions at places such as Lauriacum, Vindobona and Carnuntum helped control movement through a frontier shared by soldiers, merchants, craftspeople and families. Roman roads, river traffic and settlements stitched these communities together.

Noricum and Pannonia covered parts of modern-day Austria and neighbouring areas. Our map highlights historical sites from that landscape; it does not identify the original findspot of any arrowhead in this collection.

ABOUT THE ARTEFACTS & THEIR REPORTED ORIGINS

The five iron arrowheads were purchased as a group described by the seller as Roman-period finds from an Austrian region, approximately AD 200–300. Their dating and origin are unverified, with no documented archaeological context supplied.
