Historical background
The inhabitants of the Balearic Islands were regarded as the best slingers of antiquity and served Carthage and later Rome as mercenaries and auxiliaries. Ancient authors report that they carried three slings of different lengths for different ranges. As children, it was said, they were only allowed to eat the bread they had hit with the sling.
