of war, basically using the technologies available at the time. They
even built a Roman bridge across a river to see if Caesar was telling the truth
in his accounts. :o}</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>*rolls eyes* <BR><BR>And none of you fine fellows watched the
PBS series where they try to recreate a piece of ancient technology and they
did the catapult did you? Built themselves a nice sturdy stone wall and then
moved the catapult around trying to fling boulders at the wall and break it.
Very amusing watching them dash around arguing about wind speed and rope
tension and distance and such.
