Piece of brilliance. My Military History prof called it "The Donut Battle".

Caesar - "Hold thou my beer and watch this."

Three weeks to build a wall eleven miles long and 12 feet high. President Trump, please take note.

Unbelievable!! “About 11 MILES of 13 FOOT high fortifications were constructed in THREE WEEKS” in 52 AD.
And we can’t do jack sh!t in YEARS on our southern border. What a pathetic commentary.

Oops...52 BC. Off by a hundred years.
To: ProtectOurFreedom
No unions or OSHA regulations back then...

I dont think Caesar had to worry about environmental impact reports or unions or labor laws. You order 10,000 men to build a wall with the incentive that if you get hurt or tired your body will be ground up for mortar then you can accomplish a lot in a short time.

Or Environmental Impact Statements.
Look at the Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge, Grand Coulee Dam, Hoover Dam, etc for examples of what we used to accomplish pre-EIS.

To: Moltke
Or environmental assessments - that takes a LONG time. I was just reading about some light-rail into our town - the initial assessments started in 2000. (Too bad they couldn’t have taken 100 years. F-ing light rail will bring the gangs right here!)

It’s as simple as that, isn’t it?
To: SunkenCiv
Although there are various theories and modern-day places that make claims, I don't think anyone knows for certain where this town was?

Yes, it has been identified. IIRC, Napoleon was the first to send engineers out to find the various sites identified by Caesar in his Commentaries. Subsequent archaeology proved the site as Alesia.

Reminds me of the Tenth Legion at Madada. Subtlety was not their strong suit.
