You know that:

  • The first written records of the use of the onager come from the year 353 by the legionary Ammianus Marcellinus.
  • Many types of these catapults were produced in the Roman Empire, and the design therefore depended on the particular workshop.
  • The common basis of the siege engine was a frame made of oak beams, which lay on the ground, and a vertical structure of the projectile stop.
  • Projectiles were hurled by a wooden arm with a firing plate or a leather sling.
  • The energy of the shot was supplied by a torsion spring made of tendon-like ropes.
  • To extend the launch arm, the Romans used a tiller, which could be a fixed part of the machine, but also a separate one, usable for multiple catapults.
  • Roughly hewn stone or clay balls mixed with flammable substances were usually used as ammunition.
  • With the catapult ready, the gunner hammered out the wooden fuse, which released the energy of the tensioned torsion cables.
  • When fired, the throwing arm hit the stop. The Romans called the impact "donkey kick". Hence the name of the machine Onager (donkey).
