Siege Engineer

Great engines of war, crafted from strong oaks.

As empires expanded so technologies developed to enable attacks on defensive positions and lay siege to large cities. Field engineers became adept in the arts of using whatever resources were to hand to construct catapults, siege towers and battering rams to break down the enemy’s defences. The scorpion, a crossbow-like spear-thrower, the fire-raiser, a burning cauldron attached to a long beam on wheels, and the sambuca, a type of covered troop ladder, were early innovations in siege engineering. As far back as the 2nd century BC Philip V of Macedon was using catapults along with field works in his defence of the Aous Valley, where the Romans lost many men due to his siege engines.
