Foreign Siege Methods

The higher a wall, the more determined one should be to get to the other side.

The early Sassanid military was very Parthian in nature, both in form and tactics. The early reforms began to shape the army into a more organised, structured fighting force, and specifically Khosrow's helped to turn it into a well-equipped group, but it was only after increased contact with the enemy that they truly learned. Roman technologies bled across to the Sassanids, and vice versa, as is demonstrated through the Roman use of the 'Clibinarii' - a developed form of cataphract, which in turn became the standard across the ancient world. Roman siege techniques also took hold in Sassanid Persia as Roman urban warfare developed.
