Mounted cannons were the stationary version of regular cannons, often being situated on stone walls, towers and fortresses.
History
Monteriggioni
Sometime in late 1499, Mario Auditore upgraded the arsenal of Monteriggioni, adding mounted cannons to the walls of the town. Anticipating an attack from the Borgia, Mario rigorously trained his men in their use.
A few days after their installation, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, along with Monteriggioni's mercenaries, used the cannons to repel the Borgia's forces after they had begun a siege on the town.
Rome
These cannons were also frequently used in the army of Cesare Borgia, with both the normal and the sea variant being used in his armada.
