Summary

[edit]
Description

χελώνη (testudo), siege equipment. Illustration tirée de Les Poliorcétiques d'Apollodore de Damas, composées pour l'Empereur Hadrien, Traduction du texte publié par M. Ch. WESCHER, 1867.

Note accompagnant le dessin (note 13) : "Nous avons cru pouvoir rendre par le mot berceau le grec ampeloz en latin Vinea qui signifie berceau de vigne, tonnelle, gloriette; il paraît naturel de rendre par le mot français correspondant l’idée qui a présidé en grec au nom de la machine. Pour ces tortues, voir César, B. C. II, 2; Tite-Live, XXXVII, 6; Végèce, R. M., IV, 5, et la figure ci-contre extraite de Héron de Constantinople.
