← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from Roman corvus bridges exceeding height limits?
A)Seasickness amongst Roman soldiers
B)Increased bridge collapse frequency
C)Reduced wave-induced overturning stability✓
D)Improved troop deployment efficiency
💡 Explanation
Reduced stability occurred because the elevated center of gravity raised by the corvus bridge design made them susceptible to Capsizing. The shifting weight of troops on top caused greater moment leading to overturning; therefore, naval control was diminished, rather than causing seasickness.
