Pre 1700's



ManuBallista

The manuballista serves as my pre 1700's era cannon. The manuballisa was developed around 100 A.D by an Apollodorus of Damascus. It represents the most advanced two-armed torsion engine used by the Roman Army. It's primary purpose was to hurl arrows over a large distance whch would then penetrate the enemy's armor.

  1. This information on the balista is short, concise, and to the point. Depicts the balista as an anti-infantry armor weapon.

  2. I really like how you made a gun, your cannon. Also I like how your blog is presented.
