Cast the first stone in your games of Hail Caesar Epic Battles with the stone-flinging Ballista!
Developed by the Romans from earlier Greek designs, the ballista was a powerful tool in the Republican Roman arsenal, filling the roles of both battlefield and siege artillery. Powered by twisted rope torsion ‘springs’, and built in a wide variety of calibres for different purposes, the most powerful could fling large stone balls (or later wood and iron darts) many hundreds of yards. Lethally accurate in the hands of a skilled crew, the ballista remained a mainstay of Roman artillery in one form or another for centuries.
Deploy this heavy weapon to rain destruction on the enemies of Rome! Casting an imposing shadow over the battlefield, even in Epic Battles scale, this mighty stone-thrower is the perfect supporting piece for any Roman collection!
