History

Which outcome resulted during Roman siege warfare when defending city walls lacked counterweight trebuchets?

A)Catapult range advantage for attackers
B)Fire hazards due to burning projectiles
C)Slower deployment of artillery pieces
D)Concentrated infantry assaults on gates

💡 Explanation

When defenses lacked counterweight trebuchets, range disparity occurred because the Roman's torsion-powered catapults could launch projectiles beyond defenders' reach, increasing bombardment effectiveness. Therefore, a catapult range advantage resulted rather than fire hazards, slower deployment, or infantry concentration, which depended on differing tactical conditions.
