As one of the most successful military organisations of all time, the Roman legions were also masters of siege warfare. At the height of Roman power, there was hardly a city or castle strong or inaccessible enough that it could not have been conquered by the Romans. This volume describes 20 of the most significant and difficult sieges conducted by Roman forces between 406 BC and AD 363: Veyes, Lilibeo, Syracuse, New Carthage, Utica, Corinth, Ambracia, Carthage, Numancia, Athens, Avaricum, Alesia, Marsella, Jotapata, Jerusalem, Masada, Aquilea, Bezabde and Maiozamalcha. At the beginning there is an introduction to the siege techniques of Roman antiquity and the siege engines developed by the Romans.
