Anyone seen this new show? Interesting stuff.


Last one I watched they recreated a Roman torsion spring catapult
Not entirely sure this is practical. I know medieval trebuchets had

enough

range to stay out of extreme bowshot. At 100 metres the Romans would have
been easily inside the killing range of a medieval longbow.


I don't think Medieval and Romans quite fit together..


Hehehe, I too was somewhat confused with the timeline.
