From the transcript
Have you ever wondered how the ancient Romans managed to conquer such a vast empire with their incredible military prowess? Well, their innovative war machines played a significant role in their victories.
One such war machine owes the Roman ballister a large crossbow-like weapon that could launch boltstones or other projectiles over long distances with remarkable accuracy.
This lethal machine could penetrate enemy armor and cause devastating damage to fortifications. Another game-changing invention was the Roman siege tower, called the Heliop olis. These mobile multi-story structures allowed soldiers to scale enemy walls while being protected from incoming arrows and other projectiles.
