The Roman catapult improved on the medieval design by the addition of torsion springs.
Originally invented by the Greeks over 2000 years ago and widely used by the Romans in battles and sieges, the Catapult had many different methods of firing. During the Roman Empire the catapult was refined and improved and this model represents a smaller version of a common catapult style of the time.
Based on drawings and written records, this Catapult re-creates the way in which tension powered siege engines worked, and can fire the small clay balls (included) and other soft projectiles over 15 feet!
A wonderful learning aide to studying Roman history and culture.

Such a sweet toy that will grow with my daughter and be played with for years to come. She is 17 months and loves rolling it along our floorboards as well as discovering different little things we have hidden in the back of the truck. It’s so well made and is lovely to the touch.
We had this ball bought as a present for our dog when she was being looked after by friends. It has become her absolute favourite and very popular by lots of other dogs we encounter.
We also live near the beach so it really helps that it floats too. We use it almost daily and have done for the past 6 months. So needless to say we are very satisfied with the product, tempted to buy a second just Incase (god forbid) we lost this precious favourite. It also fits in the ball thrower sticks which has saved me since being heavily pregnant.
It’s not easy to snag these pieces! Slowly adding to my collection. Love browsing Dragonfly Toys and seeing what they on available on my wishlist. Ostheimer is one of most favourite collection!
