Roman fort construction : the benefits of standardization

Roman forts have been studied in both archaeology and history for many years. Standardization has often been mentioned as a tool of the Roman army and also one of its greatest strengths. In this study, the key aspects of three Roman fort designs have been identified and analyzed with regard to their strategic, logistical, and spatial significance. In addition, the possible ramifications of these designs upon later fort building in the United States during the late 18th century were also considered in addition to the analysis that was performed on the Roman fort designs.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg
