Are these Roman sling bullets? I know the ones around it are typical stone ammo. What do you think?

No, I think they are not sling bullets. Its shape is actually very well reproduced ant thoug they seem to be made in lead( oxide white colour) probably they are only that: acorns. Romans used to make reproductions of little things like shells, animals, phallus, etc. The interest of these acorns would be their meanings. Does anyone knows it?

The items on show do look distinctly Roman to me. The cooking pot is a text book example.

The arrows do seem primative, I suspect that this is due to real heads being put onto reconstructed shafts. How acurate the reconstruction is, I would not like to say.

The four round stones could just be throwing stones. The Roman were in the habit of making these in large numbers for the defense of walls etc. They would be just small enough to hold in the hand and were generally spherical with two flattened sides. If they are in fact spherical, then they could be for a balista.

The acorns are just decorative. Possibly votive offerings.
