Commentary

A similar item is IGCyr111200 found at Berenike.

The present arrow-head was presented to the British Museum as having been found at Cyrene. Was it really found in this city or is Cyrene used, as often, in a broad sense for Cyrenaica? Whatever the answer, we may hold for plausible that it belonged to the bodyguard of queen Berenice II.
