  • Greek Lead Slingshot with X
    Greek Lead Slingshot with X
    4th-3rd century B.C.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £72

    Biconical in profile with casting seam and Greek legend '...X...' to one face. 30.4 grams, 37 mm



    Ex German art market, 2000s. Acquired from an EU collector living in London. From the collection of a Surrey, UK, gentleman.

    Greek bullets were cast in two-part moulds. Clay and stone moulds survive; metal moulds are much rarer in the archaeological records. The mould halves carry the negative of the bullet’s shape, often in rows, so that multiple bullets can be made at once. A narrow gate at the tip of each negative lets molten lead run into the cavity. After cooling, the caster opens the mould and breaks the sprue that links the bullets.

  • Roman Iron Anti-Cavalry Caltrop Group
    Roman Iron Anti-Cavalry Caltrop Group
    3rd-4th century A.D.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £286

    Comprising six caltrops, hand-forged with square-section spikes. 338 grams total, 76-93 mm



    From the private collection of a London gentleman, from his grandfather's collection formed before the early 1970s.

    Caltrops were scattered on battlefields in an effort to stop or slow advancing enemy cavalry or foot soldiers; regardless of how a caltrop lands, one spike is always facing upwards. Caesar used them widely at Alesia (Caes., BG 7.73; 82): 'Stakes a foot long, with iron hooks attached to them, were entirely sunk in the ground before these, and were planted in every place at small intervals; these they called spurs'.
