Fustibalus - Staff Sling
#5
Quote:though Duncan Head has it in his ARMIES OF THE PUNIC WARS book (forgive me if I misquote that book's name) as a Mcedonian/Greek weapon for casting darts. He calls it a cestrosphendone, which was a leather sling, and he's mounted it on a staff.
Does the book actually show the dart rigged into a staff sling? I ask because I recall a long time ago that I browsed a book by Duncan Head that showed a little drawing of just the dart itself, the suggestion that it may have been thrown with a staff sling made in the caption.
