regions,
while
local
warfare
had
grown
alarmingly frequent. In fact the
energies
of
the
French
military
йlite were now focused on petty
internal squabbles and external adventures like the Norman conquest
of
England.
Nevertheless,
the
population and economy both
expanded, although it
was not until the 12th
century that the crown
rebuilt its power-base. Despite its slow start when compared with
neighbours like England, the Kingdom of France had, by the 13th
century,
risen
to
become
the
most
powerful
state
in
Western
Europe.
This
title describes the organisation, history and tactics of French
medieval armies.

The only
mathematics necessary is an understanding of the powers of ten.

Kings
were

as

this

The
catapult
(katapeltikon)
was
invented
under the patronage of
Dionysius
I,
tyrant
of
Syracuse,
in
the
4th
century
bc.
At
first only the
arrow-firing
variant
was
used,
and
it
was
not until the reign of
Alexander
the
Great
that
stone-projecting
catapults
were
introduced.
The Romans adopted these weapons during the Punic Wars and
further developed them, before introducing the new arrow-firing
ballista and stone-throwing onager. This title traces the often
controversial
design,
development
and
construction
of
these
weapons throughout the history of the classical world.

invasion of Sicily in the late-5th century BC, in the form of siege
towers
and
battering
rams.
After
a
50-year
hiatus
these
weapons
of
war
re-appeared
in
the
Macedonian
armies
of
Philip
II
and
Alexander
the Great, a period that saw the height of their development in the
Ancient World. The experience of warfare with both the Carthaginians
during the later-3rd century BC, and Philip V of Macedon
during the
early-2nd century BC, finally prompted the introduction of the siege
tower and the battering ram to the Roman arsenal. This title traces
the
development
and
use
of
these
weapons
across
the
whole
of
this
period.
