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

- 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)
