Hello everyone.
Thank you for taking a moment to read my thread. Terribly sorry if it sounds ridiculous but I am curious if anyone out there has read any information of Roman siege artillery being used in a defensive capacity- ie to repel hordes of attacking infantry perhaps.
I am a toy soldier collector and my wife stunned me this past Christmas with buying me a couple dozen pieces for a Roman fort. I own some ballista and one onager and was not planning on having my legion in a defensive position- they would be using their equipment in a siege capacity. Sooooo, Im sort of in a quandry here.
I appreciate any input you fellas can provide. I am relatively new to Roman Army interests and understanding the ancient world and am looking forward to continuing my journey of knowledge with the folks on this forum
Warmest personal regards
