Hamilcar Barca Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 It is also worth noting that neither Livy or Plutarch make any mention of the device described by Zonaras who was writing 1300 years after the siege of Syracuse. Livy himself is fond of dramatizing his writings where ever possible, so if he doesnt mention it, it proabably never happened. Thanks for the info though.
