What a wonderful siege, and all we got were some soldiers sneaking over a ridiculously low wall. (Remember: this was the siege where Josephus actually heightened the town wall!)
Don't forget the 160 artillery pieces represented in this case by one seriously dodgy onagar.
I did feel rather let down on that score; Josephus' account reads like a masterclass in ancient siege warfare and what do we get? Some rickety old ladders.
