<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7165056, member: 110350&quot;]I doubt that the &quot;locals&quot; in a few villages and towns had enough to feed armies supposedly in excess of 100,000. I don&#039;t think that&#039;s what Roman armies depended on; everything I&#039;ve read says that they had large numbers of supply wagons. I&#039;ve also read that prolonged sieges were often difficult for the attackers, because there was a limit to the supplies available to large besieging armies, whether the supplies were brought with them or they attempted to live off the land. And they couldn&#039;t always depend on supplies being brought from the rear.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the next time I talk to my friend, I will ask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
