Title: A must have for all sling geeks!!! Post by slingbadger on Apr 11th, 2007 at 9:40am
Made a great discovery yesterday. There is a series of books by W. Kendrick Pritchett called the Greek State at War.
In volume 5, it starts out with a chapter on slings. Over 60 pages of info. There is a complete bibliography of all Greek authors that mention slings. Slings in art, and on coins. All excavation sites where evidence for slingshas been found. This is a great resource for all us sling geeks! Makes me feel all warm and squishy! Either that or I need diapers. |

You're 42!!! You're the answer to everything! You're entitled to mess your pants a bit. (Now I wonder how many of you get the reference?) |

You know, when all those people are running around in public displaying a towel it might be his annual death day (or two weeks after that). Towel Day |

An excellent find slingbadger!
I was so impressed I bought the book. Very detailed and thorough list of references from classical greece and rome. I was working on digging all this up and compiling it. You have found it an served in up as one fine nuget. Looks like I need to dig smarter, not harder. |

I looked the books up on Amazon and they go for between US $40 and $60 a volume. You can order them separately. If I ever find $50, I'll order Volume Five.
