摘要

学者们经常断言，亚历山大的军事创新之一是在推罗的战舰上安置攻城塔 (πύργοι)。在本注释中，我认为没有任何文学证据可以证明这一点。我还认为，除非塔楼比推罗的城墙高，否则这样做没有任何军事优势。

Diodorus Siculus and the Purgos at Tyre: Did Alexander Put Towers on Ships?

Scholars often assert that one of Alexander’s military innovations was to place siege towers (πύργοι) on board his warships at Tyre. In this note I argue that there is no literary evidence that this occurred. I also argue that unless the towers were higher than Tyre’s walls, there would be no military advantage to doing so.
