TECHNOLOGICAL ACHIEVEMENTS OF GREECE AND ROME
MILITARY TECHNOLOGY
Roman military technology was inventive on occasion, as in the great siege catapults, depending on both torsion and tension power. But the standard equipment of the legion- naire was simple and conservative, consisting of an iron helmet and breastplate, with a short sword and an iron-tipped spear. As most of their opponents were also equipped with iron weapons and sometimes with superior devices, such as the Celtic chariots, the Roman military achievements depended more on organization and discipline than on technological superior- ity. See Chapter 5 for more details.
