I’ve come to view the famous Roman Legions, at least at their height, as a very well organized construction crew that would occasionally fight.

In the film "American Sniper" you can see the walls getting put up under fire from an expert Iraqi sniper. Not sure about the accuracy of the film, but I believe the walls were pivotal in the success.

Caesar comes, builds a bridge over a significant river, because why not, peeks on the other side and tears it down again. No big deal, he can build another any time.
