Siege Engine Mugs

Medieval history and ancient times are full of siege warfare, ballistics and military engineering. Trebuchets, ballistas, scorpions, mangonels and other siege engines of the catapult family dominated the medieval era city sieges and war time battlefields.

The design for the traction trebuchet was born in Asia and spread throughout Europe and the Middle East. It saw service from 1,000 AD to 1,300 AD, mostly during the crusades, used to liberate cities in the Holy Land. The trebuchet had a static frame, a dynamic beam on an axle, a sling to hold the payload, and ropes on the opposite side to pull down the beam to "fire." It was manned by a team of 20 to 140 troops, depending on its size.

It’s always worth to give something a shot. If you never try, you will never fail – and that’s true. But you won’t succeed, either. Ever. So aim high, take a shot – and another one. And another one. And repeat, until you claim your goal. Our little siege engine will give your shots some nice, healthy boost. Life is hard, sure, and one shot (almost) never wins the battle. But a volley? Now we’re talking!
