A siege tower was widespread in antiquity. Already the Assyrians used him to siege and conquer. The Persians took over this method of attack, and the Greeks soon turned them on. In ancient Rome, siege storms have been in the 2nd Century BC used. The Romans built their first towers based on the Greek model. Siege towers were different. The typical features show the present model. The tower was driven as close to the walls of the besieged cities on six to eight bikes. So that the towers could be moved, the site was planned or Ramps created. In the lower part there was a movable rambock with which the walls could be torn down. There were one or more floors of which the soldiers could transferred to the wall of the besieged city using a fall bridge. Bows shooters were able to attack the guards.
