These appear to be Roman socketed arrowheads, though it is hard to be 100% certain as similar types were used later.  But they are consistent with Roman types.

However, the one on the left is a pastiche - a fantasy mash-up of two genuine items.

The lead bit is part of a plumbata or martiobarbuli, a kind of weighted dart or light javelin used by the Romans from the mid-third to fifth centuries.  However, the iron head part of a Plumbatae is a) always one piece and b) always barbed.

You can see some here though there are many other pictures online:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbata

Yours appears to be a standard socketed arrowhead, with leaf-form point, jammed onto the end of a broken neck of a plumbata.
