Newcastle (Pons Aelius) Bridge, Vallum and Fort (info needed
#88
Hi,

At the momment im looking at something like this (please ignore the geometrical discrepancies and stuff). For a small fort (1.53 acres) holding a quingenary unit (480 infantry) would there be anything missing?

The placement of the granries, commandants house and praetorium is supported by archaeological evidence. The rest is conjectural.

EDIT: The new rather geometrically correct version looks quadratic rather than the more 'playing card spahed' usual roman fort. Is this a problem?
