This is a link post Ballista anybody?
yes, now you too can own a real, working, replica Roman wooden seige weapon!!



LIFE SIZE!!

*wants soooooo fuckin bad*

EDIT: including one of the best ever reasons for purchase in the form of "If you have aspirations to overthrow a neighbour’s castle, the ballista isn’t ideal, as even though it is potentially capable of throwing a stone ball over 100 yards, it is now not in firing condition. (Please note that even if it were, you would need a team of several skilled operators in order to do this, and these are very hard to find today. You may also find that advances in weaponry since this was designed place you at a considerable disadvantage on the modern battlefield.)"

This is a normal post The sheer scale of that is rather fantastic.
It puts the firing version that the Ermine Street Gaurd have to shame by comparison.

I don't care if advances in weaponry would put me at a disadvantage - there is such a thing as style!
