Not a Carroballista ... it's a limber
It just seems to me to be a logical choice when moving artillery over longer distances. If I recall, a Scorpio (being relatively light) can be man-handled to some extent in Hail Caesar but I reckon if you really wanted to shift them, it calls for a mule cart.
The same way I play later period artillery, when a battery moves the artillery pieces come off and the limber model goes down. If you look closely you may notice I still haven't painted the reins I made from bottle-foil.
I bought another scorpio and fixed it in the back (nice fit as luck had it) together with the bolt-tub and I added styrene rods for the windlass.
I love a good mule and it was fun painting particularly 'muley' colour schemes for them.
Nice idea, what make is the cart and I need some for my mule train and will steal this idea also!

Warlord - pretty sure it's listed under Hail Caesar with the Romans.
