i became interested in the Balearic slingers.
I started to search on the net for any thing on Balearic slingers and i found out that they we´re one of the best slingers in the ancient world.
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 children unless they first hit it with the sling.
I hope you like my slingers as much as i do....

DeleteNot much to do on an island but slinging rocks around, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteSlingers from Rhodes were quite famous, too. I think islands in general had the best missile mercenaries.
Either way, great work on yours, and so fast!
It think i dont want to invade there island and get stoned to death ;)
DeleteAnd Thanks Mathyoo :)
