Interesting query Bakradze, it would be hard to know where to begin. So you would like to learn the history of Byzantium, the city, but would like to know what art and iconography, archaeological history, references and what kind of spears were used ?
My questions to you to more effectly answer would be; are you a collector, and if so what do you collect; are you doing a study for a project; do you have a specific interest in period and what kind of spearhead with what kind of circles?
Are you interested in Byzantium from its founding by the Greeks in the 7th century BC; or from the period after its conquest by Romans and its later incarnation as Constantinople, as it became the heart of the Holy Roman Empire, or the later conquest by the Ottomans?
Perhaps it would be easier to help you if we knew what you have already found and questions on specific aspects of the Byzantine Empire over all these centuries.
If it is simply a type of spearhead you either have or are curious about, please give us an illustration or more particulars to know what you are looking for. We very much love history and study it through the weapons, with the topics and discussions centered on specifics so we can focus on information rather than random and broad areas.
Thank you for joining us, and looking forward to hearing more on what you are studying.
All the best,
Jim
