I mentioned on another thread that I will be running a weird science Roman game at Historicon. I've posted some pictures of a couple of the "inventions" that will be used:

Has anybody found an English translation of De Rebus Bellicis?

I tried an on-line translator and it turned Latin to gibberish.

Awesome as usual with your great demo games! I really like the 'Gatling ballistas'.
Bogdanwaz I hope you still have the stunning models of the 'Age of Reason' link and 'Ben Franklin's War' games and that they all will see the light again. The new Favonius airship would mix well with them, with the Archimedean heat ray as main armament.
