Which defensive failure would be amplified by a Roman fort’s reliance on a glacis?

A)Compromised drainage during heavy rains

B)Reduced ballistic advantage projectile range

C)Decreased visibility of approaching troops

D)Increased vulnerability to undermining tunnels✓

💡 Explanation

Undermining becomes a greater risk, because the compaction of earth used in the glacis provides stable soil to tunnel through; therefore, undermining has a greater effect, rather than direct assault or projectile attacks, especially given Roman siege warfare preferences.
