Suebians Military Tier 9

Advanced Siegecraft

It takes more than superior numbers to force a surrender.

As the Western Roman Empire slid into decline attacks on Rome itself became more frequent. Although Rome was no longer the capital it was still the ‘eternal city’ and continued to hold an important position in the imaginations of Romans. During the 5th and 6th centuries AD, three separate tribal confederations attacked Rome; in AD410 the Visigoths sacked the city, followed by the Vandals in AD455, and finally the Ostrogoths in AD546. All of these tribes knew that the key to the city's surrender was to cut off its grain supply. When Alaric I, King of the Visigoths, besieged Rome he made sure to destroy the granaries at Portus, the large artificial harbour that served the city, ensuring famine amongst the Romans and therefore a swift, favourable end to the siege.
