لذا يهدف هذا البحث إلى إماطة اللثام عن هذه القذائف من خلال دراسة شاملة وصفية وتحليلية لعدد من القطع غير المنشورة والمحفوظة في متاحف مصر المختلفة، وکذلک بعض القطع الأخرى المنشورة والتى تم ذکرها بشکل عابر وسريع من خلال تقارير الحفائروبعض الکتالوجات. هذا إلى جانب عقد دراسة مقارنة بين النماذج اليونانية والرومانية من خارج مصر وبين النماذج محل الدراسة.
The sling bullets were known in Greek and Roman ancient
times, they used in wars, which vary in their materials, shapes
and decorations. They are mentioned by Homer in his Odyssey,
Aristophanes in the play of birds, in addition to Xenophon and
other greek and roman authors. The slingers showed in art when
throwing the bullets against the enemies.
The sling bullets were known also in pharaonic Egypt, and
there are archaeological evidences for that such as a pair of slings
found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, the sling was probably
intended for the departed pharaoh to use for hunting game.
Another Egyptian sling was excavated in El-Lahun in Al
Fayyum.
In Ptolemaic and roman Egypt were found a lot of sling
bullets, differ in their materials such as stones, metals (bronze
and lead) and terracotta, as well as their shapes like almond, oval
and Spherical, and represented many of motifs and inscriptions.
This study is aiming to bring to scholarly attention a
collection of decorated sling bullets which are kept in the Cairo
Egyptian Museum and Alexandria, Greco-Roman Museum, and
also some published pieces in excavations reports and catalogues,
through descriptive and analytical study. In addition to a
comparative study between the greek and roman examples from
outside Egypt and the Ptolemaic and Roman bullets. At last wewill connect between the motifs and inscriptions which portrayed
on them and their uses
