Thanks Gilbert, thanks Craig
...but I gave up plastering for good a long time ago ;-) ) )
Back to the subject: The Romans may well have been able to do decent plastering -- there's proof enough of it in other cases, but again, if I got right what they said they did not do it on the Odenwald-limes for sure and most probably also on the Obergermanisch-raetische Limes. The wooden-towers reconstructed after most recent findings is at Rainau-Buch on the ORL and shortly next at Vielbrunn (Odenwaldlimes).
Ah, BTW for those who like to deal with the Limes A-Z (In German) there is a new paperback : [url:rlhyne46]http://www.chbeck.de/productview.aspx?product=24233&toc=3232[/url]. >>> "Leseprobe"
For those already a bit "in the know" I'd recommend Andreas Thiel's books . I got 'em and I like them. The link to them is listed in Noxia's first post.
More on them : [url:rlhyne46]http://www.theiss.de/[/url] >> (FINDEN) >>Thiel >> Klick >> eh voila, -- presto
ublications No. 1, 6 and 7.
BTW: Noxias link proves even more helpful if you look at this: [url:rlhyne46]http://www.deutsche-limeskommission.de/fileadmin/dlk/images/dlk/pdfs/Der_Limes_3_2009_2.pdf[/url] (hope that they'll also be publishing the older issues from "Der Limes" as pdf -- very good pics and graphics)
Page 7 : wooden watchtower.
So, I think that is it.
