John B Posted August 23, 2018 Report Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) G'day all, Just came across these photo's. My grandson had a project for school last year, make something the Romans used. He came to pop with his problem and the idea of of a trireme, I talked him out of that as a ship with 3 rows of oars, had is ambitions and mine mixed up with his abilities, especially as he had conveniently forgotten all about the project until Saturday and it was due Monday morning. We decided on a ballista. I have short video somewhere. when I find it I'll post it. Edited August 23, 2018 by John B spelling Lucky2, Rob, crupiea and 3 others 6 Quote

We found both terms used, not sure if "Ballista" is a term used for all of these type of weapons, or not. It was a lot of fun to make, I think Pop had more fun than Griffin.
