Roman Military Might in South Carolina

[D B Campbell]

The photo of the siege tower looks distinctly dodgy.

I just realized it's probably the one from the Museo della Civiltà Romana in Rome (which has been closed all year, I think).

Their 1:10 scale siege tower apparently "closely follows the description from De Re Militari of Vegetius".


See Osprey's Greek and Roman Siege Machinery (2003), p. 31 Plate F (also on back cover) for a more realistic attempt (imho).
