Item Details

Description

Roman Empire, ca. 0 to 400 CE. This is a collection of four American-football-shaped slingshot bullets made of lead. We are not certain why they were made in this shape; suggestions range from the pointed ends holding them into the slings to the shape allowing for a spiral path through the air. These small projectiles could be deadly: Virgil wrote of the Etruscan king Mezentius, "[he] dropped his spears, then made a sling. Go whipping round his head three times as he put stress upon it and he split the adversary’s temples with a molten leaden slug, knocking him down asplay on a bank of sand." Size of largest: 1.75" L x 0.8" W (4.4 cm x 2 cm)
