1. Like the Greek , these were light infantry whose defensive armour consisted of a small round shield covered with oxhide.

2. The Baliares (Majorca and Minorca) furnished the most skilful slingers in the world. Livy says (XXVIII. xxxvii. 6) that no single individual of any other people was so superior in this art to his fellows as were all the Baliares to the rest of mankind. The ancients derived Baliares from ,

throw.
