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.

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
