Hello everyone!

Today I would like to present another one of my works. This time historical figure.
This is the so called hand trebuchet or staff slinger, used in the late roman army to disrupt the enemy lines.
"Hand-trebuchet[edit]

The hand-trebuchet (Greek: cheiromangana) was a staff sling mounted on a pole using a lever mechanism to propel projectiles. Basically a one-man traction trebuchet, it was used by emperor Nikephoros II Phokas around 965 to disrupt enemy formations in the open field. It was also mentioned in the Taktika of general Nikephoros Ouranos (c. 1000), and listed in De obsidione toleranda (author anonymous) as a form of artillery.[33]"

The price per piece is 25 euro plus shipping costs.
Ships worldwide.
