Talk:Cheiroballistra

Photo and diagram please
Picture of a reconstruction if we can find it

Drawing to show how it worked.

Carro or Cheiro?
If the carroballista and cheiroballista are different weapons, what's that on Trajan's Column?

Mon Vier

Similar to crossbows?
A cheiroballistra uses torsion coils. It's not especially similar to crossbows. 173.66.211.53 (talk) 05:16, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think ‘similar’ refers to the kind of spring used but to the general form factor and use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.114.147.138 (talk) 03:17, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
