Which defensive failure would be amplified by a Roman fort’s reliance on a glacis?

💡 Explanation

Undermining becomes a greater risk, because the compaction of earth used in the glacis provides stable soil to tunnel through; therefore, undermining has a greater effect, rather than direct assault or projectile attacks, especially given Roman siege warfare preferences.
