Pons Aelius Wikipedia Article

Quote:When one is in the business of doing reconstruction models, wether computer generated or sculpted, words like 'possibly, probably, likely and safe to assume' must by neccessity come into play. The reason for this is not hard to imagine - picture a computer reconstruction model, almost movie quality, complete with marching Roman auxillia, wild animals and even weather. The effect would be spoiled somewhat if a wall abruptly ended and the paranthetic 'wall course - uncertain' was written in red across the screen! So, us reconstructors must listen to the assumptions and suggestions of archaeologists and take our pick from the conjecture, otherwise we would not build anything at all! That some may disagree with our analysis or conjecture is part of the deal.

AMEN ! :lol:
