Talk:Battering ram

Sheep?
Is the battering ram named for the ram? Or vice-versa? Or is it a false connection? DS 13:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, because rams charge and knock things over. User:Tea King 8:28, April 22, 2007

I recall seeing a depiction of a battering ram with a ram's head, complete with horns on it, though I am not sure whether the horns were there for added effectiveness of just ornamentation, but perhaps the original "battering rams" had the skull of a ram on it, and the name came out of that. Just my speculation. --Dagonius VI (talk) 06:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
