Osprey New Vanguard Series #89 'Greek And Roman Artillery 399 BC-AD 363' (2003) By Duncan B Campbell (Author), Brian Delf (Illustrator)
The catapult (katapeltikon) was invented under the patronage of Dionysius I, tyrant of Syracuse, in the 4th century bc. At first, only the arrow-firing variant was used, and it was not until the reign of Alexander the Great that stone-projecting catapults were introduced. The Romans adopted these weapons during the Punic Wars and further developed them before introducing the new arrow-firing ballista and stone-throwing onager. This title traces the often controversial design, development, and construction of these weapons throughout the history of the classical world.
