What time in history were catapults used?

Catapults have been used since before Alexander the Great. Around 400 BC I think. These were simple ones like a bow tilted sideways on steroids. Called a gastrophetes or belly bow. Then Romans made some nice catapults called onagers (100 BC to 300 AD was their high time). Eventually you get to trebuchets which had counterweights and were the biggest and baddest of all. These were used in medieval times up to the late fourteen century until cannons beat them out. Hope this helps!
