The Tyrean Siege Engine

Post by Nicator »

Hello All,Does anybody know of a book which provides detailed information on the siege engines used against Tyre? In paticular, the battering ram which was modified to be attached to the wall itself, and then effectively battering through. This must have been a massive machination, and also must have been well protected from fire sand being poured down from above.later Nicator

Thus, rain sodden and soaked, under darkness cloaked,
Alexander began, his grand plan, invoked...
