In this article we study the finds of arrowheads, the iconographic representation of bows, and the literary references to the use of archery in the period between the first Phoenician settlements and the Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. With the help of explicit parallels from other Mediterranean cultures, we shall try to explain the absence of bows and arrows in the Iberian period. Our hypothesis is that the Iberians considered the bow to be an effeminate and cowardly weapon, unworthy of aristocratic warriors. This would explain the absence of this weapon in grave goods and artistic representations.
