From Wikipedia
The onager (UK: , ; US: ) was a Roman torsion-powered siege engine. It is a type of catapult commonly depicted with a bowl, bucket, or sling at the end of its throwing arm. The onager was first mentioned in 353 AD by Ammianus Marcellinus, who described onagers as the same as a scorpion. The onager is often confused with the later mangonel, a "traction trebuchet" that replaced torsion powered siege engines in the 6th century AD.
