Which tactical consequence directly resulted from Roman ballistae limitations?

💡 Explanation

Siege lines became necessary because the ballista's limited range and accuracy increased the attacker's vulnerability; they needed protection during sustained bombardment. The entrenchment decreased causalities, therefore the attackers could only move when they had successfully knocked off enough stonework rather than risking all-out assault.
