| 词条 | Catapulta |
| 释义 |
A catapulta was a Roman machine for throwing arrows and javelins, {{convert|12|ft|m}} or {{convert|15|ft|m}} long, at the enemy. The name comes from the Greek (katapeltes, καταπέλτης), because it could pierce or 'go through' (kata) a shield (pelta). The design was probably inherited, along with the ballista, from Greek armies.
