Latina: Exemplum balistæ quadrirotis. Notitia utraque cum orientis tum occidentis ultra Arcadii Honoriique Caesarum tempora, A.D. MDLII, De Rebus Bellicis
English: Example of a four-wheeled ballista.

Print shows two soldiers with a horse-drawn ballista. The device, mounted on a wagon, is manipulated like a crossbow, shooting large arrows at enemy fortifications. The horses are well covered with armor. Taken from the collection Notitia utraque cum orientis tum occidentis ultra Arcadii Honoriique Caesarum tempora (1552) edited by Sigismund Gelenius (1477–1554). This part is from the De Rebus Bellicis, which contains many illustrations of weapons and engines of war.
