Roman siege warfare: a disciplined system turning stone walls into calculable outcomes.
Roman siege engines could be used as mobile siege towers that doubled as artillery just after storms, surprising enemies with sudden escalations.
Roman engineers sometimes flooded cities around walls, turning sieges into controlled floods rather than direct assaults.
The Romans imported enemy weapon designs to copy them, reverse-engineering siege tech to build superior versions within months.
Siege warfare relied on annual pest control: vermin swarms recorded to demoralize defenders and reduce morale during long blockades.
