The Essential Ancient Artillery Resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greek and Roman Artillery Hb (Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints) (Hardcover)
E. H. Marsden's Ancient Greek & Roman Artillery: Technical Treatises is one of the most thorough, resources on ancient artillery. It contains translations from the original greek and latin, and is filled with excellent information on all different types of heavy weapons used by the Greeks and Romans. Includes detailed information on Dionysius's Repeating Ballista, among other things.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Must have for a true siege weapon geek,
By Earl R. Ryan (Mooresville, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greek and Roman Artillery Hb (Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints) (Hardcover)
Marsden really did a fantastic job with this book. It is very technical. He provides the original text on one page then on the next the translation. He also provides a lot end notes with diagrams to explain what the original authors where trying to tell us. Excellent book for those who like the down and dirty mathematics and physics of siege engine building.
