Roman Onager

COBI 20068 – Roman Onager – Master of Ancient Siege Warfare

Feel the dust of the ancient battlefield and the tension of straining timber. The Roman Onager transports you directly to the frontiers of the Roman Empire. As the powerhouse of ancient artillery, this torsion engine was instrumental in breaking the strongest fortifications. This model captures the rugged strength and engineering genius of antiquity, serving as a compelling centerpiece for any historical collection.

Experience mechanical ingenuity during the assembly. COBI utilizes a clever rubber band system instead of traditional strings, providing the throwing arm with realistic tension and power. The result is a fully functional siege engine capable of launching projectiles with precision and reliability. Built on sturdy skids, the model ensures stability and durability even during intense play sessions.

This set is an essential addition for army builders and history enthusiasts alike. Featuring a terrain base and a highly detailed legionary minifigure—equipped with historically accurate Lorica Segmentata and a Scutum shield—the model integrates perfectly into larger dioramas. Whether displayed on a shelf or used to recreate legendary battles, it offers a perfect blend of authenticity and interactive fun.
