Salve,<br>
<br>
That's correct, Tacitus, <i> Historiae</i> 3.23 records artillery deployed in battle.<br>
<br>
Arrianus (<i> Ektaxis</i>) also describes the use of artillery pieces (<i> mèchanai</i>) in his plans to deploy for battle against the Alans. In his <i> Technè taktikè</i> he also describes the use of handheld devices by cavalry.<br>
<br>
