  • The Medieval Trebuchet consisted of a lever and a sling

  • A very large force was applied to the shorter end of the arm, the load is on the other longer end of the arm with the fulcrum in the middle

  • The siege engine's arm could measure up to 60 feet in length

  • Heavy lead weights or a pivoting ballast box (filled with earth, sand or stones) were fixed to the short end of the Medieval trebuchet arm

  • A heavy stone, or other missile, was placed in a leather pouch that was attached by two ropes to the other, long, end

  • When the arm was released, the force created by the falling weight propelled the long end upward and caused the missile to be flung in the air towards the target

  • The Trebuchet was capable of hurling stones weighing 200 pounds with a range of up to about 300 yards

  • After maximum range was achieved, the trebuchet was moved toward or away from the target

HBO Rome and Tragedy of Julius Caesar?

HBO's Rome, although consisting of excellent acting, was fiction. It was historical garbage and depicted historical facts only when it couldn't be helped. Mr. Shakespeare's tragedy of Julius Caesar, was also fiction, but he worked with and around historical facts in a manner that was plausible, at least for his time.HBO's Rome, although consisting of excellent acting, was fiction.
