Roman Siege Works

Roman siege works were military engineering techniques used by the Romans to surround and capture fortified cities or strongholds. Key features included building large earthworks, such as mounds and trenches, to protect approaching soldiers, and constructing siege towers to scale walls. They often employed battering rams to break down gates and catapults to launch projectiles at defenses. Romans also created walls around the besieged area to cut off supplies. These methods demonstrated their advanced engineering skills and strategic planning, allowing them to effectively conquer well-defended positions throughout their empire.
