<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3732756, member: 76194&quot;]I don&#039;t know if the corvus was used at Actium, but I&#039;m pretty sure I read somewhere that Agrippa used the corvus on his campaigns against the Pompeians in Sicily. Therefore I think it&#039;s pretty safe to assume the corvus was still being used as late as the last few years of the Republic.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>UPDATE:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Found this on Wikipedia, though I originally read it in some ancient work....
