Following Paul's last post, I wrote to Dr Ottaway and asked about the apparent anomalies in the number of barracks. He's now replied, saying that 'although some more evidence has come to light since I last looked at this in detail and I need to review this', it still appears that there were less than the usual number of blocks in the south-east side, south-west of the via praetoria.
So it would seem that the plan given in the original edition of the book is still correct based on current evidence, but that possibly things might change... No idea, meanwhile, why the illustration in the later edition shows twelve blocks filling the space! :-?
