Ballista
DbpediaThing
Wikipedia articleDbpedia source
For the Roman general, see Balista. For the Italian actor, see Gigi Ballista. The ballista (Latin, from Greek ßa???st?a - ballistra and that from - ß???? ballo, "throw"), plural ballistae, was an ancient missile weapon which launched a large projectile at a distant target. Developed from earlier Greek weapons, it relied upon different mechanics, using two levers with torsion springs instead of a prod, the springs consisting of several loops of twisted skeins. Early versions ejected heavy darts or spherical stone projectiles of various sizes for siege warfare. It developed into a smaller sniper weapon, the scorpio, and possibly the polybolos.
