After cautiously listening at the Rat Conference I'm correcting myself.
The complete defense system was newer used for his primary function -to repel(stop) any barbarian force, but only in wars between emperors and usurpers(Theodosius tore down it).
The upper part of the Ad Pirum fortress could difficulty host a defensive force, unless for a few days, because the slopes are too steep.

For some photos of the site check the post in rat conference 2012.
Maybe some reconstructions of the site will available in the near future.
When available I will point out the work of the voluntaries who
walk up end down the woods, hills, mountains to detect the defensive system and who even run into bears to present their work to the public....
