Five Greek and Latin treatises, with a facing English translation, which allow Marsden to trace mechanical progress in Greek and Roman artillery more than five hundred years. Extra chapters talk about and reconstruct the 4th-hundred years ballista and the onager predicated on a variety of sources. Each textual content and translation is accompanied by extensive notes that have explanatory diagrams which reconstruct the devices.
