While dozens of lead sling bullets have been found at the site, this one stands out – as it is the first one to bear this specific inscription.

Analysis of this sling bullet dates it back to the second half of the second century, or the beginning of the first century BC.

The average house price here in the picturesque Welsh town of Llandeilo is £241,265, making it costlier than the average Welsh town — but far below what you'd pay across large areas of the UK to live somewhere as pretty. And the town, at the heart of rural Carmarthenshire, has just been named among the best places to live in the UK by The Sunday Times. ‌Jo said the Flows Café Bar on Market Street "looked very appealing" and "full of character inside".
