They were also buried to avoid tax collectors and thieves. In ancient times, a ring distinguished an individual in a way that other forms of jewelry did not. Finger rings represented the language of social code, and connoted one’s social standing. Under the Empire, the finger ring was still considered a privilege, conferred for military distinction. As time wore on and attitudes changed, the ring was more freely bestowed. Even so, the ring retained its position as a mark of dignity, as a rich ornament, as an important seal, and as a token of betrothal.

Ancient Greek Lead Sling Shepard's Bullet or Projectile c. 400 BC--100 BC!
ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS Artifacts. Antiques& Fine Collectables Ancient Greek Lead Shepard's Bullet Sling Bullet/Projectile c. 400 BC to 100 BC Original. Authentic, and Extremely RARE! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This ancient Greek. Sling bullet is made of lead and dates to about 400 BC-100 BC(over 2000 years old) This sling bullet has the classic, double-pointed, or so called“almond shaped” design and has a wonderful patina with heavy lead oxidation and mineral/earth deposits. It is in good as found condition and measures about 1.64" in length. It was likely a metal-detector surface find in Greece. It appears to have an ancient Greek inscription that was cast into it when it was made in a mold. These early projectiles were made in great quantities to hurl at one’s enemies. You will. Of course, remember that the ... morefuture King David slew or“smote” the giant Philistine Goliath in the 11 th Century BC with a larger stone version of one of these little guys. The British Museum has several examples of these ancient Greek sling bullets with engravings. They have one projectile that depicts a winged thunderbolt on one side. And on the other the Greek inscription“take that” ΔΕΞΑΙ) in high relief. I can't see what was cast into this projectile that I currently have for sale, as the lead oxidation on encrusted earth has obscured the designs or letters. This lead sling-bullet is made of cast lead and appears to have some ancient Greek letters cast into the side. But they are difficult to see. It measures approximately 1.64" long x.34" tall x.71" thick& weighs just 2.4 oz. or 67 grams. Condition: This lead bullet is in excellent condition for its age. It is solid. Cast lead with no cracks. Restorations. or repairs. Please see 4x macro photos for details. This natural process of oxidation does not affect the solid integrity or beauty of the artifact. In fact, they help to date this artifact as an authentic piece of lead that is very. Very old! Price& Value Each object I se

Still retaining original shape and with letters resembling"TPAT?N" In excellent condition. Age wear and patina as shown Measures 1.1 inches long and weighs over 29 grams The sling is mentioned by Homer and by other Greek ... moreauthors. The historian of the retreat of the Ten Thousand. 401 BC, relates that the Greeks suffered severely from the slingers in the army of Artaxerxes II of Persia, while they themselves had neither cavalry nor slingers, and were unable to reach the enemy with their arrows and javelins This deficiency was rectified when a company of 200 Rhodians. Who understood the use of leaden sling-bullets, was formed. They were able, says Xenophon, to project their missiles twice as far as the Persian slingers, who used large stones Ancient authors seemed to believe. Incorrectly, that sling-bullets could penetrate armour, and that lead projectiles, heated by their passage through the air, would melt in flight Various ancient peoples enjoyed a reputation for skill with the sling. Thucydides mentions the Acarnanians and Livy refers to the inhabitants of three Greek cities on the northern coast of the Peloponnesus as expert slingers. Livy also mentions the most famous of ancient skillful slingers: the people of the Balearic Islands. Of these people Strabo writes: And their training in the use of slings used to be such. From childhood up, that they would not so much as give bread to their child

ANCIENT CELTIC/ROMAN LEAD SLING SHOT 1st ibera romana bala onda iberica
En tiempos de César. Gracias al conjunto de libros del llamado Corpus Caesarianum, sabemos que el legionario tenía como armamento ofensivo reglamentario el pilum y la espada. También dentro del ejercito romano existía un cuerpo no mencionado hasta ahora que estaba formado por soldados no romanos: los auxiliares extranjeros o auxilia. En el caso del éxito en el reclutamiento de tropa en Hispánia. Los romanos tuvieron suerte irregular. En un principio y bajo el pretexto de combatir a los cartagineses, los cuales tenían presencia en la península antes que los romanos y de las promesas de que una vez los cartagineses fueran expulsados, los romanos se retirarían, estos consiguieron atraer a cierto número de íberos. Pero una vez los Púnicos vencidos, los romanos empezaron la conquista ... morede Hispánia y aquí también empezaron sus problemas en el reclutamiento de tropa indígena. Pero¿cuál fue el armamento del auxilia? En un principio podemos afirmar que el principal armamento de este cuerpo militar era arrojadizo. Compuesto de hondas de diferente longitud para conseguir diferentes alcances y el arco. Por el cual hay controversia en cuanto a la distancia de alcance. Según diferentes opiniones, el arco y su uso no era muy extendido. De todas formas, su uso vendría dado por la necesidad estratégica y esto lo demuestra la cantidad de hallazgos de puntas de flecha, como por ejemplo los de Osuna, donde se encontraron gran cantidad de ellas y que podrían clasificarse en cuatro tipos principales y con un tamaño que está entre los 6 y los 8 centímetros. En este caso su producción es indudable que fue local, hispana o lusitana, existiendo gran número de fuentes que acreditan la existencia de gran cantidad de arqueros entre las tropas auxiliares del ejercito de Pompeyo. Según las opiniones citadas anteriormente, la distancia de alcance de las flechas era de entre cien y doscientos metros. Los hay q
