← HistoryWhich outcome results from using scarping in pre-Roman fortifications?
A)Reduced siege ladder effectiveness✓
B)Improved wall structural integrity
C)Increased arrow range defense
D)Enhanced interior drainage systems
💡 Explanation
Scarping involved creating steep slopes below walls, thus reducing siege ladder effectiveness because attackers face exposed ascent during an assault. The angle of repose mechanism prevents ladders from securely reaching the wall, therefore, siege becomes more difficult, rather than structural improvements.
