Which mechanism limited the Roman castra's defensive capacity against prolonged sieges during expansion?

💡 Explanation

During expansion, castra often faced prolonged sieges, thus logistical strain arises because the constant need to transport water limited its endurance during longer sieges. Therefore inadequate water management primarily reduced their capability, rather than timber vulnerabilities, inadequate relief, due to logistics, or quarry sourcing which offer other drawbacks.
