Ancient folks were very creative when it came to killing people.
The idea of throwing flames as a war weapon is suposed to be thought by the first time during the Byzantine Era. It employed a device that appeared to be a hand-held pump that was capable of shooting fire. The weapon had a piston and siphon-hose, and once ignited, it could shoot fire to the victims. With this powerful weapon, it was possible to kill a whole army and ignite anything that the fire lands on.
