Onager or stone-thrower, a Roman torsion powered siege engine or catapult, in the Centre d'Interpretation, a visitor centre designed by Bernard Tschumi, at the MuseoParc Alesia, on Mont-Auxois near Alise-Sainte-Reine, Burgundy, France. The onager applies the principle of distortion with a lever arm lowered by force and rising abruptly, launching balls of different calibres cut on the spot. Alesia was originally a Celtic settlement which became a Gallo-Roman town after being conquered by Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars. Alesia is the site of the Battle of Alesia, 52 BC, when the Romans under Julius Caesar defeated the Gauls under Vercingetorix. Picture by Manuel Cohen
