ALT1: Did you know that siege warfare(pictured) was a common tactic used by the Romans during their conquest in all parts of the Mediterranean region? Source: G.Cascarino, L'esercito romano.

Overall: Article created on September 1st, nominated within 7 days. Long enough and passes Earwig's Copyvio. The first few sentences in the lead aren't sourced and aren't in the article otherwise, per WP:leadcite, you will want to fix that. I don't actually see the ALT1 explicitly stated in the article - I'd like to see that if we are to use it. It's not the most interesting alt. May I suggest:
@Annwfwn: Which sentence did you mean? Yes, every time I nominate an article I always provide a QPQ. JeBonSer(talk | sign) 14:26, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JeBonSer: Ahhh I apologize, I completely missed the QPQ. The article looks great with the changes that you made. Thoughts on the hook? Annwfwn (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good to go for the suggested hook. JeBonSer(talk | sign) 09:53, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JeBonSer, Annwfwn, and PrimalMustelid: thanks for the good hook! Unfortunately, we're a bit away from the Main Page right now. I'm seeing a decent number of unsourced paragraphs, and the hook is sourced to factsanddetails.com (not really the caliber of source i'm looking for). Could these be cleared up first? Thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:06, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm withdrawing this nomination. I have other jobs to do in real life as for now. JeBonSer(talk | sign) 05:11, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
