Due to its age and historical significance in representing the military prowess and tactics of the Greco-Roman era, this arrowhead relic is immensely rare, serving as a tangible piece of ancient warfare.

Estimate: $220-$480
Arrowheads and similar relics from the Greco-Roman era have always held great interest among historians and collectors. A bronze relic of comparable significance was auctioned in Paris, 2020, reaching a price near $400, shedding light on the potential value of such artifacts.

Introduction:
The Greco-Roman era, spanning from the 5th to the 4th Century BC, was a period marked by vast territorial expansions, military campaigns, and a blending of Greek and Roman cultures. This bronze arrowhead stands testament to the intricate weapon-making skills and the strategic military engagements of the time. Such relics are more than mere metal; they offer a peek into the lives, battles, and valor of ancient soldiers.

Provenance:
Consignor: Alexander T. Miles
Year Acquired: 2005
Esteemed art historian and collector, Alexander T. Miles, chanced upon this artifact in 2005 during his travels to Athens. While exploring local markets, he was drawn to this relic, where an elderly vendor shared tales of its discovery near old battle sites. Intrigued by its authenticity and the stories it held, Alexander secured it for his prestigious collection.

Auctioneer's Comment:
This bronze arrowhead is not merely a metal shard but a symbol of an era when warfare strategies and craftsmanship went hand in hand. It offers its possessor a direct link to the valor and genius of Greco-Roman warriors. The winning bidder will also receive a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that attests to the relic's genuine nature and offers details on its market value.

2. "As Is" Sale: All lots are sold "as is" without warranties or guarantees, either express or implied. Descriptions are for guidance only and should not be considered comprehensive or definitive. We encourage bidders to perform their own inspections and research.

3. Auction Format: Our auction house employs the Timed Auction format without internet competing bids, and there are no reserve prices set. Each lot beckons with its unique starting price, reflecting our commitment to total transparency. Starts with a minimal opening price, which is typically lower than the actual market selling price. The estimated value range provided (min-max) for each auction lot reflects the approximate retail market value of the item.
