This print takes us back in time to the Roman era, showcasing a meticulous reconstruction of a war engine designed for firing a salvo of arrows. Commonly known as a Scorpion, this formidable piece of artillery was an essential weapon on the ancient battlefield. The engraving, created by Justus Lipsius (Joost Lips) in Antwerp in 1605, beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship involved in constructing such a powerful war machine. The Scorpion's design is both awe-inspiring and intimidating. Its massive frame stands tall against the backdrop, exuding strength and resilience. With its multiple levers and pulleys meticulously depicted in this engraving, one can almost imagine the sheer force required to launch volleys of arrows towards enemy lines.

It allows us to appreciate the advancements made by our ancestors in warfare technology while acknowledging their impact on shaping history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back centuries ago when battles were fought with skillful precision and strategic planning.
