Also were advances in the prosecution of sieges, the medieval people were curious about this military advances. The Ballista was a Roman Artillery rediscover at the Middle Ages, important and powerful source to attack. They develop or manage other subjects like math and science.

What made them famous

At the Medieval times the siege weapons were the most important weapons for the people of the Middle Ages. The Medieval knights think as if this group of weapons was the only type of weapons that exist. And also (encouraged) all Western Europe think that they were good weapons because this weapons help them during the wars, The Crusades won by the Roman Ballista and all the Siege Weapons that they were use. At this time this weapon, the Roman Ballista was invaluable, was similar as a giant crossbow, that was made by the Greeks. This weapon was introduced to England for the battle of Hastings.

Military Technology have also difficult times.During the Dark Ages a man called Christendom abandoned sophisticated techniques of classical times. This was argued because it was not mentioned at the bible. Scientific advances, but some military techniques had abandoned and anybody remember them, Also affect building. This cause many bad things, like the importance o the church lost, relations into each class lost.

Although during the middle ages series of military expeditions called the Crusades get in contact with other cultures that have more knowledge.
