Roman Chemical Warfare
#3
Thank you for your thoughts. I will share this with my students today. On a related note, you mention flinging various items to spread disease. Two of my male students came up with the "Flaming Poop Catapult" idea. Their suggestion was that Roman soldiers could have saved their waste, put it in bags that were tied together and lit on fire, and then flung these bundles over a wall.

Never let anyone say that teaching high school, especially Latin, is anything other than wonderful fun!
