I've just noticed this point (a new addition?). I don't think anybody is 'confused', but I don't know how you manage to 'reconstruct' the river conditions of the 1st C AD in such detail, when the rest of your post is so clear about the near-impossibility of doing this.
I said in my last note above, written before I read the above text, that I'm confused because your points could only be made if you thought I was discussing the modern conditions and values. I wasn't.
As for this, "I don't know how you manage to 'reconstruct' the river conditions of the 1st C AD in such detail, when the rest of your post is so clear about the near-impossibility of doing this." ..... my post makes no mention of the near-impossibility of reconstructing rivers in 60/61 AD. Reconstruction is difficult and time-consuming but not impossible.
Do you think that I have not reconstructed the rivers?
