Depends on the Period. At anchient Mycenae (trojan War 1000-1500 BC) was to protect mainly the ruling cast. On 800 afterwoods in order to form a last stand of the population when the walls were fallen. Later mainly as religion sites, administration as and treasuries. Things changed with the Peloponessian War. Athens been unable to fight the Spartans at land, begun to build a series of forts to protect her territory from invasion. Those were ready and effective a century later, as too many had to be constructed. Their use was same as and of those at the medieval times. Guarding passages, where the guard could ambuse or do sudden attacks an invading army. If they were good placed, they could also rain missiles at them. Also after an invading army had passed, they were still guarding the passage, which meant that no army could be re-supply if not the forts were taken. The BIG change came with the invation of the ballista by Dionysous of Syracuse, and it's wide use by Alexander the Great. From then onwards, Forts were equipped with catapelts and ballista, as to control also, ports, Harbors, Gulfs, as and Territory. The Romans coppy that technique at their forts, as and went a step further by using them at field battles, making so the first use of "artillery" in history!
