Quote:Although I haven't read it I have been directed to Völling, Thomas (1991): 'Plumbata - Mattiobarbulus - Martzobarboulon? Bemerkungen zu einem Waffenfund aus Olympia', in: Archäologischer Anzeiger, pp.: 287-98. Is that a better work in your opinion?Very much so. The only drawback is that the author agrees with Kolias, apparently without really doing research. Völling has passed away (very young), I would have loved to discuss his article. Another very good one is:
Degen, R. (1992): Plumbatae: Wurfgeschosse der Spätantike, in: Helvetia Archaeologica, vol. 23, pp. 139-147.
