Abstract


The siege-machine that Vegetius – and, after him, all modern scholars – called uinea was, in fact, a musculus. The classical uineae were, most probably, screens used to hide and protect siegers, and also as defensive obstacles. Being the uineae very apt to prevent sliding of the loose materials that formed the aggeres, the text of Sall., Iug. 76.3 needs no correction.
