My first thought:
The ancient greeks are known to have poisoned watersupplies of enemies!.

wikipedia:

During the 16th century B!.C, the Assyrians poisoned enemy wells with ergot, a fungus that would make the enemy delusional, and Solon of Athens used the poisonous herb Veratrum to poison the water supply of Phocaea during his siege of the city!. During the 4th century B!.C!. Scythian archers used arrows with tips covered with animal feces to cause wounds to become infected!.[1] In 184 B!.C, Hannibal of Carthage had clay pots filled with venomous snakes and instructed his soldiers to throw the pots onto the decks of Pergamene ships[2]!. However, the use of live animals as weapons does not strictly come under the definition of a biological weapon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ther really is no answer to this question!. In the age of Castles, opposing armies would siege a castle, and then catapult dead animals over the walls!. the animal would rot there, and the bacteria and such would kill some people inside the castle!.
