Antiochus? Have not heard that before....I like it.
Antiochus commanded the Seleucid army at Magnesia and got walloped by the Romans.

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.
A gate allowing three men abreast makes me wonder what about provisions? A one horse cart would be the maximum to fit through.
