That’s really neat. Thank you for showing it.
I found a local book on a more modern military encampment, Alameda Naval Air Station (California). Looking at the layout in the video you’ve shown, it appears strangely modern. Perhaps all well-functioning military installations derive from the Roman model.
Yet another Flavian public works project?
You wonder if in 75AD old Vespasian wasn’t thinking back to the good old days with the Second Augusta in Britain and saying; you know, maybe we should beef up the fortifications, pump a little money into the local economy...
