Has it even been considered a possibility that the marching camps where roads go through (examples) were built specifically when the roads were being built? Perhaps as storage of materials (stone, gravel, sand, whatever) for the solders/slaves/construction workers to carry on building the road? It would make sense to protect these vital materias in the same way an army always picthed up tent and camp when marching.
So, rather than temporary marching camps, these were actually supply bases/logistics depots for the duration of the road construction, that were brought down once the road was finished?
This would seem to explain why some roads would go through marching camps, and while it seems only marching camps are the camps which roads go in through to start with.
Thoughts?
