I find this to be a impressive undertaking.

I'm just a little stumped as to why they have cannons being built next to the wooden gears.

 

Am I the only one assuming, besides the invasion of Syracuse and the fall of Constantinople, the Romans really didn't have much experience with canons, and always were on the receiving end those extreme few times they did?

 

Next thing I'll find out is Saladin used Cruise Missiles, or Pompey had his own tank corps.

 

I like the effort none the less. I think that first ship might be the Kon-Tiki.
