AIA piece on Dura-Europos siege mines

[Gaius Decius Aquilius]

This is a new report. I Just got it in the mail. I have the Simon James final report, and this has new interpretations, and a very different interpretation of the maps that du Mesnil made, which were mostly just hand made drawings to begin with. The points I outlined are the gist of his new interpretation. Since I have the final report, the reprinted photo of the Persian skeleton in armor was not new to me. I should have mentioned this to those who have not seen it. It is fairly grim and brings home how terrifying the situation in the mine had to have been.
