Greek Gastraphetes. Greek infantry armed with Gastraphetes “belly bows”. This was the first artillery made by the Greeks, it looked like an oversized crossbow. It was first used sometime before 420 BC in southern Italy by the Greeks and is also very possible that it was used by Alexander the Great during his campaigns. These figures are supplied with random separate heads allowing a variety of head dress. 28mm wargames miniatures for classical era games.
