"What made Alexander the greatest of the military commanders? Part was his advanced technology in the form of the catpults he used. This DVD goes into detail and explains why the Macedonian catapults were better than those that were in use by others at the time. Quite worth the time if you like Alexander or are interested in ancient war machines."
