POLIORCETICA ISSUES IN THE BOOK «THE JEWISH WAR» BY FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №3 (55) September, 2016

The article is devoted to the main professional activities of ancient Roman engineers and architects in the 1st century B.C. These aspects are set out in detail in Flavius Josephus book «The Jewish War». It considers the main principles of fortification systems in Jewish cities, structural solution of defense bulwarks, fortification walls and towers, and the main types of siege technology and catapults. One of the reasons for the defeat of the insurgents in this war was the superiority of the Roman army not only in structural organisation and arms but also in its engineering potential.
