Roman camps UK - is there a database or list?
#38
Although I appreciate the analysis on water it would seem that if all well water - and streams too for that matter - were as polluted as you say I am suprised that anyone survived at all! Perhaps due to the amount of bacteria present in the ancien diet they had far more robust gut action than we do.

Quote: Drawing water from a well and filtering is entirely plausible for a small group of men but not for a legion. It's the scale of demand that strongly suggests that a legion would camp alongside the nearest river and not rely on a few, known-to-be-polluted, wells.

Regards, Steve Kaye

Thanks Steve.

My response here was made more with a view of digging wells than using existing ones.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
