 * || =Iron spearhead (Weapon)=

|| Type in the content of your page here.
 * || This photograph shows the head of an iron spear. This spearhead was excavated from the site of a Roman settlement in England. The iron head does not show any signs of rust because of the English soil, rich in tannin and oxygen-poor in many places. As you can clearly see, the tip is dull and is scraped after use in battles. || This colorful illustration shows a medieval monk and a peasant. This portrays the difference between the two social groups. As you can see, there is a big difference in clothes between the two people. While the peasant is wearing a white, worn in rag, the monk, which is in the higher class, is wearing different colors and styles. ||
