Arrowhead ca. 4th century B.C. Seleucid This is a bronze socketed trilobate (i.e., three-bladed’) javelin head. It is about twice the size of an arrowhead, but too small to be a spearhead. It was excavated at the Tall-i Takht at Pasargadae, about 55 miles northeast of Shiraz, Iran. Pasargadae was founded by Cyrus the Great (reigned ca. 550-530 B.C.) as the first capital of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. The Tall-i Takht is an elevated platform that was presumably intended as the site of Cyrus’ palace. In later years it served as a fortified citadel, and this spearhead probably dates to this period of later use.. Arrowhead 326391
