If Robert does not mind me going a little off topic for a moment I have been looking at the picture of that huge machine shown by D B Campbell, also if an ornager of this size could be dismanteled and transported is there any evidence of the Romans also transporting their amunition as well.
For here is a picture of a Roman Stone Ball found at the side of one of the three lane Roman Roads found here in the north of England by the late Raymond Selkirk, this stone is a very heavy one that is in the region of 35cm and the road where it was found runs parallel to the Roman Dere street on the eastern side of the Cheviots.
