← HistoryWhich effect amplified the vulnerability of Roman castra fortifications against siege ladders?
A)Curtain wall height uniformity
B)Standardized gate construction
C)Ditch depth consistency
D)Tower spacing regularity✓
💡 Explanation
Regular tower spacing created blind spots as ladder placement exploited the limited archer firing angles between towers. Therefore tower spacing caused vulnerability, rather than wall height, gate construction, or ditch depth which would require different tactical exploits.
