Book about Carolingian warfare including slingers. Mentioned is a "mattiobarbularii" some type of baton or lead weight.

Really? The link doesn't work or you cant view the material?


It wont let me cut and paste unfortunately.

It is from "Early Carolingian Warfare, a prelude to an empire" by Bernard S. Bachrach about Rhabanus military manual which he developed from the writings of Vegetius.
