Fundibularius is very kind-- I've looked at some Greek ones, no Roman ones. The problem with antiquities trade is that even if something's authentic, you never know for sure where it's from. This is true for a $75,000 scultpture or a $75 lead bullet. So yes, these look authentic (what's their weight ?), if rather worn (I've seen such bullets in far better shape, so handle them with care-- gloves), but "Balearic" provenance has to be taken with a pinch of salt-- it may well be a seller doing a bit of research, finding out tha Balearic slingers were famous, and hey presto, calling them "Balearic" in the hope of selling them.
Likewise, a lot of sling bullets sold in the C19th were said to come from Marathon, the site of the famous battle of the Greeks against the Persians in 490-- but this is impossible, since the sling bullet was not used in Greece before the fourth century.
Sling bullets found in quantities usually mean a battle. Examples.
The shrine of Apollo Pythios and the "Klepsydra" well near the Akropolis, sling bullets in fill-- datable to siege operations of 86.
Sling bullets of the Aitolians (Central Greece) found at Numantia in Spain: auxiliaries fighting with the Romans against the Celtiberians
Sling bullets of the Macedonians and the Chalkidians at Olynthos: siege of 348 BC (very famous body of material-- part of the successful wars of Philip II, Alexander's father).
Siege bullets with obscene mottos found at Perugia: traces of the siege of 43 BC.
etc.
