caldrail Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 As far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be any official ruling on this (please feel free to prove me wrong). When an assault finally takes places at a siege, the men are off the leash, and any loot they carry off is theirs. This sort of thing happened in Jerusalem, where the amount of gold being spent by legionaries involved caused the value of it to plumett in the middle east. But if the city surrenders in orderly fashion? Then without doubt there is also an orderly change in ownership of valuables (or else) and the generals are the obvious owners of the bulk of it, although perhaps a wise general would make a gift of a large portion?
