  • The Medieval Military Engineer

    From the Roman Empire to the Sixteenth Century

    by Peter Purton ...

However, the siege artillery, siege towers, temporary bridges, earthwork emplacements and underground mines used for war have left little trace behind them; and there is even less of the engineers themselves: the people behind the military engineering achievements.
