Wicker panels could be used as defences in temporary works, but I imagine something more robust was required in a permanent fort. For use of wicker defences, look for the word pluteus (e.g. Caes., BGall. 7.25, 7.41, 7.72).
(Note that the wicker is not used in rampart construction, but is planted on top as a breastwork.) |
