Article on the one-armed stone-thrower or onager, described by Ammianus Marcellinus, looking at the original Latin text and various translations of it, and at interpretations and models of the machine made in the past; offering guidelines towards a new translation; and considering the technical problems to be solved in reconstructing the onager.
