Catapult stone balls size?
#2
Hi Stefan,
Ballista balls were classed according to their weights. Therefore, If you find them, you'll need to record diameter and weight. According to ancient writers, they can range from tiny orange-sized 2 mina (873.2 grams) to the huge 3 talents (78,588 grams).
Good luck (We'll keep our fingers crossed)! Big Grin

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
