Good morning everybody,
preparing a small job on the slingshot in the 1st millennium BC in Europe, I'd like to ask for your help on the matter of the moulds for slingshot.
As far as I know, only 3 moulds were found:
- two in an Hellenistic context from Olynthus (Chalcidice) and Phanagoria (Bosporus)
- one with an inscription found in Paris (Rue Saint-Martin) dated to the late republican age.
The last Paris discovery have been published in 1999, does someone know if in this last 13 years other similar findings are attested? Thanks for any help!
Very Best!
S.M.
