Description The Onagre was a type of catapult of ancient origin. It was also widespread in the Middle Ages. The Romans used to call this machine tormentum or scorpio. The catapult, mounted on two runners, launched stone projectiles, incendiary charges and other objects (snakes, garbage, severed heads, etc.) designed to strike terror into the enemy with a long arm fitted with a “spoon”. In this brick model, instead of tangled ropes, we've used a rubber band to pull the arm! Thanks to this solution, you can quickly and safely make your own seat and launch brick projectiles! The set includes a Roman legionary equipped with helmet (galea), armor (lorica segmentata), shield (scutum) and javelin (pilum). A special brick extending from the tunic contains hanging belt prints (baltea). You can place the catapult on the included brick base, which imitates a fragment of land. The clever mechanism makes playing with the catapult great fun! Are you short of staff to operate the primrose? Would you like to build a stage or a diorama? Dreaming of a bigger battlefield? Nothing could be simpler! In the Imperium Romanum collection, you'll find Roman legionary figures just waiting to be recruited into your victorious army!
