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