Does anyone have access to recent issues of the Society of Ancients' “Slingshot” magazine? I'm trying to locate an article by David Karunanithy on Hellenistic standards from issue 246 (May 2006).
No library on the Canadian interlibrary loan system subscribes, and the SoA won't sell back issues to non-members. The author's website is down so I can't contact him.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have
a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.

I have found a way to buy back issues from the SoA, so nevermind.

Hi Nearco,
You can buy that year's issues of Slingshot from the Society of Ancients for a moderate fee (10 GBP plus shipping and handling I think). After some back and forth, they decided they could sell to non-members. I don't think they sell PDFs. Basically, it has illustrations and short discussions of all the images of Hellenistic standards which Karnunathy was aware of, plus a discussion of the written evidence. He concludes that these standards were borrowed from the Persians towards the end of Alexander's reign and resembled the later vexilla. Its a relatively short article.
