Yes, Sulla sacked Athens!
Pompey sacked and destroyed another town with little cause,
I think Valencia or somewhere with a similar name!
Yes , after vercingetorix expelled all the woman and children from Alesia
They were trapped beteen the town and Caesar's fortification!
They were ejected from Alesia so the gaulic warriors would not need to feed them!
You cannot blame Caesar for not letting them leave, as forcin surrender
Due to lack of supplies is also standard practice in siege warfare!
As Theo helpfully points out, Caesar was brutal, due to the scale of his success!
But it is nieve to think he was more, or others , less brutal!

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
