Heavy artillery/ siege engine/ mounted weapon Explanation: Most of the scholarship in English refers to Roman devices like the scorpion and ballista by analogy to modern weapons, but you could also try for a fairly literal translation if you prefer to be exact. As an archaeologist, I deal with this type of terminology in ancient languages like Greek, Latin, and Egyptian; as well as modern languages like English, French, and German all the time. |
