EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases a Ballista Quadrirotis, also known as a Carroballista, a Roman siege machine from the 4th-5th century. The intricately detailed image is taken from the treatise "De rebus bellicis," a comprehensive text on war machinery. The Ballista Quadrirotis is depicted mounted on a cart pulled by horses, making it a mobile and versatile weapon during sieges. The Gothic art style, prevalent during the 15th century, is evident in the vibrant colors and vertical composition of the painting. The illustration is part of the "Orbis Terrarum Descriptio," a significant version of the treatise, and is currently housed in the National Library of Madrid, Spain. The Ballista Quadrirotis is a vertical, upright machine with four rotating wheels, allowing it to be easily transported and maneuvered during military campaigns. The machine's primary function was to hurl large, heavy projectiles over long distances, making it an effective weapon against fortified walls and structures. The illustration depicts several men working together to operate the Ballista Quadrirotis, highlighting the collaborative nature of warfare during this period. The masculine figures, dressed in armor and wielding tools, add to the authenticity and historical significance of the artwork. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the Western history of warfare during the medieval period, providing valuable insights into the technological innovations and military strategies of the Roman Empire.
