← HistoryWhich defensive outcome results from the Roman 'agger' siege ramp?
A)Reduced projectile kinetic energy✓
B)Higher ground counter-volley range
C)Accelerated undermining beneath wall
D)Flammable fuel consolidation on walltops
💡 Explanation
Reduced projectile kinetic energy occurs because earth's density causes projectile deceleration via drag, minimizing arrow/stone damage; therefore defenders survive, rather than collapsing defenses; different topography prevents ramp utilization so impact angles vary
