Thank you saltflats1929, but that's not it, it looks like as a rock-throwing big scorpion. This could be the Caesarian Roman Ballista reference from Warlord proposed by Rakkasan which I also thank, as the roman stone-throwing torsion catapults are fine larger than the scorpions and these large engines could double as bolt -shooters … |

Thank you saltflats1929, but that's not it, it looks like as a rock-throwing big scorpion. It's not a scorpion, it's an onager. An onager is a stone-throwing torsion catapult. |
| hi EEE ya | 01 Aug 2020 11:00 a.m. PST |
I know what it is an onager and saltflats1929 has therefore certainly understood, that the one I am looking for looks like a big stone throwing scorpion. |
| MajorB | 01 Aug 2020 11:47 a.m. PST |
In that case I think you are looking for a ballista. |
| hi EEE ya | 01 Aug 2020 12:00 p.m. PST |
Yes at the time of Julius Caesar, there was only one per cohort. |

$60 USD or £2.00 GBP ??? Take your choice … |
| hi EEE ya | 01 Aug 2020 10:35 p.m. PST |
Thank you, but the first idea is often the best, I think it's the one that we found at the rate of one per cohort in the first century BC. link Apart from that being this one, link I believe that it is that of 15 mina which equipped the cohorts. |

Naw, this is the one one you want: link |
| hi EEE ya | 04 Aug 2020 10:56 p.m. PST |
No in fact it seems that the only example that we found in the cohorts in the 1st century BC was not of 15 mina but of 10 mina, ie this one: link |
ponders nirvana.
