It has been said that it might have been used for some political propaganda and could have been used for the encouragement of the emperor’s troops. The artifact has been referred to as the “glans inscription,” weighed 71 grams and measured 4.5 by 2 centimeters, and could have been made using a mold that might have been used for pouring molten lead.
One side of the inscription reads “IPSCA,” which refers to some unknown town of Spain in Latin, and the other reads CAES, which refers to Julius Caesar. Experts say this discovery might prove that the Indigenous Spaniards supported the dictator’s cause during the Civil War of 49-45 BC.
Experts further stated that many inscribed glands were made in the first century BC because they were instrumental in carrying very short and specific messages.
The civil war of Julius Caesar covered Greece, Africa, Egypt, Spain, and the Balkans, and the final war was known as the Battle of Munda, which took place in Spain’s Andalusia.
This was not the first bullet that has been found carrying the name of Caesar; one other bullet has also been found before, which reads, CAE / ACIPE, which refers to Suck it, Caesar in the Latin language.
