Firstly, great pics as always Brian, thank you.
Re your name , Antiochus? Have not heard that before....I like it.
As Brian has posted in the previous pics, the gates in the UK that we know of can pass very few men marching. I think the best example is at the Lunt fort. It has been archaeology reconstructed following the post holes of the gate. Its a double gate that maybe 3 at max could pass through wearing kit on one side....so 6 abreast though a partitioned/separated gate....3 either side.
That's working on the Lunt.......other forts are available in different sizes.
