LEAD SLING BALL WITH LEGEND PETE/CVLVM

Roman lead sling ball with text on two sides PETE/CVLVM. This type of projectile was often used by Roman auxiliaries, especially those from the Iberian Peninsula and even the Balearic Islands. The inscripata glands were primarily used during the Republican period. Then, during the Empire, we will always use slingshots, but very often animegraphs. the texts are often linked to a mockery or insult of the genre "take it in the Maw" ... or elsewhere!
