What! I resized it to 25% of its original size! It shouldn't be that big! I used this site http://imageresize.org/Default.aspx

Well. What's done I suppose. (I know I can change it but I did resize it, makes me angry...) any guesses though, Walter?

Sling related. Could be a fairly long list. But! I don't think it is ammo.

Interesting, why do you think that? Oh, and it's only one item in the bag.

lead glande.

image is still 3200x 2500 (ish) when resizing pick: 800x600
It's pixels that count not percentages.

Given that even cheap mobile phones can have up to 12 mp cameras, always best to pick an actual size Smiley

Alrighty, thanks CA. And you are correct. A Greek lead sling glande, dated to 300 BC there is an inscription, which some of it has been worn off, anyone have any ideas what the whole inscription would have been/said? The part of the inscription I can see seems to be NIZ

I'm looking to get a Roman one, since that one is Greek, it would be cool to have one of both.

I really really really wish I knew what the full inscription was. Hahaha, what if it was something like "whoever picks this up is cursed".
