This video is an overview of a fully functional historically accurate scale model of a Roman Palintone Torsion Ballista I designed and built from the writings of Vitruvius and others who build modern reconstructions. Her name is "Stickus DeMinimus", or the Little Stick as the full scale one I built following this is named "Biggus Stickus".

This is for use within the Society for Creative Anachronism and was an exercise in engineering archaeology to learn about making and using these in preparation for making the full scale one to use in combat. It is built to a one-inch rope skein hole

In the video, this model was only partially tightened down but still shot a dowel 20 yards. As a demonstration piece it stays only partially tightened for safety purposes.
