+--- Thread: Garisons of the Antonine Wall (/showthread.php?tid=23244)
Garisons of the Antonine Wall - Jordanicus - 10-26-2013
I was wondering if any of you cloud tell me something about the make up of the garrisoned troops on the Antonine Wall.
Thanks in advance

Most of the forts on the Antonine Wall are peculiar in that they are smaller than "normal". This means that few of them could have accommodated an entire unit at its full theoretical complement. (However, this "problem" may be more apparent than real, as the garrisons of many "normal" forts may have been composite, in any case.)
