Catapult Animation Roman Onager
Catapult animation demonstrating the action of the torsion powered
Roman Onager
The Roman Onager, a sling equipped, torsion catapult is the combination
of a simple sling and a large staff sling, or arm, powered
by a bundle of twisted cord , or skein.
The onager allowed the Romans to employ fairly large projectiles at
relatively long range. It fired not only solid projectiles, but also a
form of grapeshot made from smaller stones baked in a clay ball.
