Aim and fire! - Build a working replica of the infamous Roman Ballista, the fore-runner of the cross

Aim and fire! - Build a working replica of the infamous Roman Ballista, the fore-runner of the crossbow from pre-cut and pre-drilled wood. See how force is created by tensioning tendons (string) to fire heavy arrows over long distances. This weapon was used extremely efficiently in the Roman invasion of Britain to repel the Celtic hordes and over-run their hill forts. Age 8 and above.
