Did Roman soldiers really build a fort at the end of each day's march?
A 12-20 mile march in the infantry is exhausting. The idea of completing that and then immediately building a fort sounds super human. Did the legions do this every time, or was it more of an official doctrine that was not necessarily followed every campaign?
