Description: | Roman throwing stone made from sandstone found at Segedunum Roman Fort. These are deliberately rounded stones large enough to fit comfortably in the hand and were probably used by the Romans as a very simple but effective defensive weapon. Over a hundred such stones have been found at Segedunum (second to fourth centuries).
