The Roman Prints

#5 - An Army of Engineers

#5 - An Army of EngineersThe Romans were excellent engineers in all areas of military endeavor. They were practical and methodical in their planning and project execution. The legions were constantly employed in building projects such as roads, aqueducts, fortifications, and all types of buildings. They were also masters of siege warfare. The siege of Alesia by Julius Caesar and the siege of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. are two well-known examples. During the 1st Century A.D., each legion was assigned about 55 pieces of artillery. These were both bolt-shooting machines and stone throwers. These engines were able to hurl their missiles or rocks up to half a mile.
