The Roman Army:
One of the many Greek ideas adopted by the Romans was the use of weapons in wars. But, though a Roman commander had access to the finest artillery engines of the time, the Roman Army's distribution and acquisition of catapults was not well organized and, consequently at times difficult. Paired with their tendency to rely heavily on the use of its many well trained troops in battles and sieges, military historians believe the Roman army's use of catapults was limited. However, on
noted occasions, such as the sieges during the expansion of the empire, the Roman armies did employ the largest most sophisticated catapults of their time.
