Medieval war engines: a wheeled machine with human face designed to break up enemy ranks and crush soldiers, and an espringale catapult, a dragon-like machine to shoot darts and aid in approaching a beseiged town. The rolling machine from Vegetius lArt Militaire, 1532, and the Espringale from Roberto Valturios La Discipline militaire, 1555. Woodcut by Etienne Huyot and Jules Huyot from Paul Lacroixs La Vie Militaire et Religieuse au Moyen Age et a lEpoque de la Renaissance, Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Paris, 1873.
