Super - heavy tank Super - heavy tanks are armored fighting vehicle s of very large size , generally over 75 tonnes . Programs have been initiated on several occasions with the aim of creating an invincible vehicle for penetrating enemy formations without fear of being destroyed in combat ; however , only a few examples have ever been built , and there is no clear evidence any of these vehicles saw combat . Examples were designed in World War I and World War II , along with a few in the Cold War . History . World War I . The first super - heavy tank was designed by the Russian naval engineer Vasily Mendeleyev who worked on the project from 1911 to 1915 . The tank was envisioned to be invulnerable to almost all contemporary threats but remained on paper because of its high construction cost . It was followed by the British Flying Elephant concept as a way to break through any potential defensive line , and the German K - Wagen ( Großkampfwagen ) . Two of them were under construction when the war ended and both were demolished . World War II . During World War II all of the major combatants introduced prototypes for special roles . Adolf Hitler was a proponent of " war winning " weapons and supported projects like the 188 tonne Maus , and even larger 1 , 000 tonne Landkreuzer P . 1000 Ratte and 1 , 500 tonne Landkreuzer P . 1500 Monster . The British , Soviets and Americans all built prototype designs similar to the Jagdtiger , but none of these saw combat as the need for such a weapon turned out to be extremely limited . Later . The idea of super - heavy tanks saw less development after the war , except in the Soviet Union where some relatively heavy tank prototypes were tested for the Cold War nuclear battlefield , one example being the Object 279 . These may be considered super - heavy by the standards of Soviet tank design , where the emphasis was on small size and low weight , but they were no heavier than the contemporary U . S . and British heavy tanks of the period .
Battle of Veii The Battle of Veii , also known as the Siege of Veii is a battle of ancient Rome , approximately dated at 396 BC . The main source about it is Livy ' s " Ab Urbe Condita " . The Romans were led by a " dictator " ( in the Roman Republic , this was an emergency general rather than a tyrant ) named Marcus Furius Camillus . Their opponent , the Etruscan city of Veii , a large city close to Rome had engaged the Romans in a long and inconclusive war during which it had often been under siege . In order to break the siege once and for all , a tunnel was reputedly built beneath the city . Livy describes the scene with the Veientines holed up in their city , the main Roman force encamped outside and a second force set to attack from within via the tunnel . After this prayer from Camillus , Pythian Apollo , guided and inspired by thy will I go forth to destroy the city of Veii , and a tenth part of its spoils I devote to thee . Thee too , Queen Juno , who now dwellest in Veii , I beseech , that thou wouldst follow us , after our victory , to the City which is ours and which will soon be thine , where a temple worthy of thy majesty will receive thee . He attacked from all sides . The Veientines wondered " " what had happened to make the Romans , after never stirring from their lines for so many days , now run recklessly up to the walls as though struck with sudden frenzy " " . At this time , the Romans emerged from the entrance of the tunnel inside the temple of Juno and the forces inside and out quickly overwhelmed Veii . After the fighting slackened , Camillus offered to spare the unarmed who began to surrender as the soldiers gathered booty . The wealth so impressed Camillus that he gave a speech , during which he turned and stumbled which was seen to be an omen of his later condemnation and the sack of Rome , the latter of which followed a few years later after the Battle of the Allia . < / div > < / div >
