Re: Roman Bullets Tell Story of 1,800-Year-Old Attack
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's ever found any lead slingshots (or sling bullets as they refer to them at Burnswark). They could quite easily be mistaken for net weights, which may be why finders don't record them, as there are are hardly any recorded for England at all, and the Roman army had a lot of slingers.
The only places in England that seem to have produced them are St. Albans, Corbridge, Ribchester, Vindolanda and my own site in south Derbyshire - which is why I'm particularly interested in any from other places.
