Several sites list the main three types of equipment a Roman engineer would have:<br>
<br>
Chorobates - the level<br>
groma - right angles<br>
dioptra - for measuring angles<br>
<br>
There are also two 'big machines', a crane called the 'goat' and a pile driver called 'the sheep'. Now hum, why would the Romans give it that name? If you recreate that one I think you'll have trouble explaining it to the grade school kids.<br>
