spin Leads
in varus-Courier No. 1, April 2002 (Eds. varus-profit society to promote the pre-and early historic excavations in the Osnabrück eV) I read on page 7 for Hon.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schlueter that he is already in the summer of 1988 Captain Clunn three lead objects presented, which could be identified as sling bullets, they were used by Roman auxiliary troops recruited by the Romans in the Mediterranean. What is not in, is the fact that it regularly to residents in the Balearic slingers acting, the English Mediterranean islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.
These Iberians were given by the Greek colonists and sailors called "spin" or "stone throwers" (Derived from ballein, ie throw throw,). That the Varus legions XVII Minervia, XVIII Caudiana (XIIX) and XIX Cannensis who were from the eastern Mediterranean to first Gaul and then moved to the Lower Rhine, had no Iberian auxiliary troops, but Gallic and Germanic, we could have then seen already .
This was a very early indication of auxiliary troops of Germanicus, who were among the legions withdrawn from Spain: I Augusta Germanica, II Augusta and V Alaudae - ie to the period 14-16 AD held at 9 n. BC, as Schlueter said again in this post.
This is another evidence of how biased and one-sided dieKalkrieser their findings to the cognitive goal: Varus battle in 9 AD subordinate Kalkriese.
are Yours
