Javelin tips

[M. Demetrius]

Does anyone have a clear picture, hopefully with some dimensions of what a peltast would have thrown? A javelin tip? I've found that the shaft can be anywhere from 3 feet to 5 feet long, which gives a pretty good range of choices...but I don't find any pictures of the points other than in modern artwork, and game designers sketches.

Pyramidal points, or leaf-shaped points?

they're usual leaf shaped spearheads

Thanks. Looks like the shafts should be stronger if I plan to hunt bears, right? Yikes!
