Marcus_Aurelius Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Considering that sieges are the most difficult type of battle due to the fact that they may include a final phase of a war and their numerous possible casualties but also because they imply a high level of ingenuity I added this poll.

P.Clodius Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Alesia, probably the most famous of the roman sieges. Circumvellation and contravellation totaling 26 miles constructed at extraordinary speed, with 2 trench systems one of which was flooded. One siege that deserves a place on the poll is Jerusalem by Titus. A fantastic effort against a huge city consisting of 500,000 people and had 3 concentric, massive stone walls.
