Throughout history, the battering ram was a common siege weapon. It is mainly used for breaking down enemy gates/doorways. When the Romans conquered the Mediterranean Basin, they used the battering ram to smash open the gates of a fortress or a city. The Battering ram was also in use during the Medieval period, only to be replaced by the arrival of gunpowder in the 15th Century.
