← HistoryWhich outcome occurred with Roman 'circumvallation' fortifications, weakening siege defenses?
A)Material access hindered reinforcement arrival✓
B)Catapult fire exposed city infrastructure
C)Soldier mobility increased within forts
D)Water inflow increased sanitation levels

Complete enclosure via circumvallation meant that the interdiction of supplies used starvation tactics, because direct reinforcement access was impeded, therefore siege defenses decayed, rather than enabling access like permanent supply lines.
