It's not really surprising. The Roman armies made surprisingly extensive fortifications when they stopped for the night and won battles they might have lost as a result.

- mercer 10y agoSo I've been wondering: was it usually the soldiers themselves who did all the fortification work, or did the Roman armies have 'grunt workers' and engineers that they took with them on their conquests?
