Roman cross-bows

[Lucius Aurelius Metellus]

Hi Crispus,<br>
Thanks for that information. I wasn't sure exactly who built the machine, but I knew that it was either Alan or Len.<br>
I think that it would be more cumbersome as you mentioned than a standard catapulta. Even though it wasn't as practical as the other engines, one must admit that it was a feat of engineering genius to come up with such a design, though. I am building a standard "scorpion" ballista, and it gives me headaches sometimes trying to work out its construction!<br>
