Slingers and Sling Bullets in the Roman Civil Wars of the Late Republic, 90-31 BC

Meer over het boek

Slingers were an element in the Roman army over many centuries, their activities frequently reported in literary accounts of the Late Republic. Despite an ever-expanding body of ancient evidence, some books on the Roman army scarcely mention slingers. This monograph seeks to redress the balance and draws attention to their role and effectiveness.
