Greek, Lead Sling Bullet
|
Mid. 4th century BC, lead sling-bullet. Scorpion on one side, and on the other, KALA. It is most likely the genitive form of the name Kala, a general under Alexander the Great who was later appointed satrap of Phrygia. It's also been suggested that "KALA" here is used as an insult, as if saying "pretty boy" or "girly man" today.
