Where did they keep the mules in garrison?
#1
By all accounts each Legion had quite a number of pack and draft mules to haul gear on the march as well as Horses for Officers and others requiring mounts.
When one looks at diagrams of forts and Fortresses they seem quite full of buildings but often no or little space is labeled stables. Probably the mules and horses are out with details
grazing and doing local hauling during the day but where may they have been secured at night and when the Fort came under attack? Annexes are certainly probable locations
but not all Forts/Fortress had one.
