How do you use a scaling tower with a battering ram attached?
A scaling tower was used in ancient wars to allow soldiers to reach the top of an enemies' town or fortress walls. If a battering ram is attached to it, then scaling the walls over an entrance to a fortress or city plus using the battering ram to break open the forts doors can be accomplished. This type of war "machines" were used into the Middle Ages.

What is a scaling tower?
Quite simply, the tower is rolled up to the enemy wall, whereupon attacking soldiers climb it from the inside and pour over the wall. It was a much safer way of breaching a wall than with scaling ladders, as the scaling tower was heavily protected from arrows, javelins, and other missiles hurled at them by the defenders, and soldiers on top of the tower provided covering fire for those climbing onto the enemy wall. Yet, it took time to get the tower into position, which made no secret to the defenders of where the breach was intended. For this reason, several towers were used at the same time whenever possible, and they were very effective.
