Proiectile de piatră din castrul roman de la Arcobadara

  • Subiect: Of an outmost importance for the Arcobadara camp, with regards to the distance battles, is the significant number of ballistic projectiles. Coming from the residential spaces from all over the camp surface, an important amount of such projectiles was discovered in 2010, when research has been carried out in the area of the camp raetenture. The large amount suggests that part of the military unit was in charge with handling ballistic projectiles, and stands as a strong proof of artillery usage. These projectiles were all carved in local stone, were medium sized and relatively mobile, and are thought to have been positioned on the cannon support. On the Roman camp of Arcobadara, 27 stone projectiles were discovered. Out of these, 20 were made out of tuff, 5 out of limestone, and 2 out of fossil limestone. It becomes a fact that for creating them, the Romans used local stone.
