AWA272 - Targeting battlefield leaders

<p>Patron of the podcast, Mathew, sent this question in. </p> <p>Are there accounts of artillery specifically targeting leaders, for example, a Legatus or centurion? Or dedicated expert archers, etc., to do the same? Imagine a sniper-type scenario. This seems like a tactic that could have been used to demoralise a force and eliminate command and control quickly.</p> <p><strong>Join us on Patron</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast</a></p> <p> </p>
