Quote:if there were 10000 Romans mustering and building lots of field fortifications over the course of several days, as I contend, then the pioneers are going to pretty much scalp the area for construction materials and fuel so no timber is left to significantly impede cavalry or screen the enemy. A constructed battlefield.This notion of field fortifications is pure fiction. There is nothing whatsoever in the sources to justify it.
