History: Napoleonic cannons are iconic artillery pieces from the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), a period marked by military innovation and the expansive campaigns of Napoleon Bonaparte. These cannons played a crucial role in the military successes of the Grande Armée. These cannons were primarily made of bronze, a material that combined durability and corrosion resistance. The carriages were made of wood reinforced with metal to improve sturdiness and mobility. The cannons were often placed on high ground to maximize their range and effectiveness. They played a crucial role in breaking up enemy formations and supporting infantry assaults.
