The Sassanids (Empire Divided) Battle Tier 4

Machines of War

For centuries the Roman Empire was unrivalled in the art of siege warfare. Even larger states such as Parthian Persia were not up to par with the Imperial engineers. The Sassanid dynasty, however, brought about a reformed military that was sufficiently capable of conducting sieges. For example, the Siege of Amida in AD 359 shows the Persians assaulting Roman fortifications with iron-clad siege towers and under the artillery support of 'scorpions'. A century before that battle, at the dawn of their rule, the Sassanids conquered the town of Dura Europos by trying to undermine its walls – one of the earliest examples of sapping and tunnel warfare.
