A real Roman military spearhead carries a mysterious punched inscription: C VER VICT.
Found in a late 1st-century well at Bucklersbury House in London, this iron spearhead dates to approximately AD 40–140. Its blade has a raised central midrib, broad flat surfaces and a short circular socket.
London Museum proposes two possible interpretations of the inscription: it may refer to a military century associated with a centurion named Verus Victor, or to a soldier named Victor serving in Verus's century. Its meaning remains uncertain.
This cinematic 3D CGI weapon breakdown takes you inside the blade geometry, follows the socket connection and reveals the archaeological mystery behind the inscription.
