(1,858 posts)Soldier corpses catapulted into a walled city, bringing the Black Death to Italians, who shipped it back into Western Europe.
Limited historical evidence suggests that the army used catapults to hurl their dead over the walls of the city upon the besieged residents and this directly lead to the spread of infection and the successful ousting of the Genoese. Fleeing Genoese who were able to leave by sea took the plague with them back to Italy. It is also proposed that this was the start of the Black Death of 1347-1350 in Europe. Could this have happened? Did the corpse missiles work? Was this the start of germ biowarfare and the primary cause of the Black Death?
