Given the data you present I cannot accept your notion that this fort was a garrison fort. How exactly did this fort handle its logistics arrangements? The shear amount of food needed day to day for 100+ soldiers is surprisingly large, never mind the fodder for the horses. There is no way that the remaining stonework was the entirety of the fort complex: not unless there was a much larger logistical supply base within a relatively short distance! If such long-term logistical arrangements did not exist and the fort complex did not extend beyond the surviving stonework, then the only logical conclusion would be that the fort was a patrol base that was only occupied for short periods of time, say no more than a few days at any one time, while the cavalry was on maneuvers and would subsequently need a resupply mission prior to the next patrol! I suppose it's possible the fort had a small garrison, perhaps one or two 5-man teams but just looking at the map and the fort ruins is enough to call into question your conclusions about how exactly this fort was used.

Very cool book:
Lest darkness fall
A modern scholar of Roman history is hit by lightening and suddenly is in Rome. That's all the explanation we get. However, he goes on to invent brandy (big money maker, quick, paper, stirrups for horses, all kinds of essential items and starts playing politics.
The author wrote it while WW II was breaking out.

Don't the holes on the inside wall mean there was a wooden structure on the inside? maybe an awning was held up by wooden beams there against the caustic desert sun? or were they just for ventilation?

Love the vid, unfortunately that sponsor is just another base build/p2p kind of mobile game, like Rise of Kingdoms. If it proves popular itll develop whales and wallet sucking staff.

I don't suppose you have the models you used and could publish? .blend files if you are using blender, or STL, 3DS, STOP, MAX, OBJ, or other file I could import?

Amazing representation. Thanks for such an effort and dedication to portray those roman buildings. I would like not wait for the next 3D model, but I will do it.

Great documentary. And I love the music used. I instantly recognized it from the game Praetorians from the early 2000's. An oldie and goodie.

A medieval castle in ancient times, wow! Absolutely high tech! Too bad the name of the architect seems to have been lost to history.

The Italian Army still uses these, but instead of using them to house horses they use them to house tanks.
This is a joke.

It would be really nice if you created also the model of the Babylon Fort now in Cairo with its great circular towers.

Youre pronouncing Saraceni wrong. You are pronouncing that c like a k in that spelling the c makes an s sound.
