History

Within Byzantine naval sieges, which risk increased when Greek fire projectors became inoperable?

A)Increased thermal buckling of siege towers
B)Deactivation of counterweight trebuchets
C)Higher volatility of catapult projectiles
D)Greater vulnerability to ramming attacks

💡 Explanation

Loss of Greek fire increased the risk of ramming because its primary mechanism, suppressing enemy ship advances with flames, failed on approach. Therefore, defenders became vulnerable to direct hull breaches, rather than repelling from a safe distance.
