This is from the Oxbow description:<br>
<br>
"An excellent guide to the planning, design, and construction of Roman legionary fortresses, which also questions how they would have looked and performed. Chapters on Roman building technology, the materials, labor, and associated structures and features, such as streets and drains, provide fascinating insights into the life, work, and extraordinary skills of the soldier-builders. Richly illustrated throughout with useful diagrams." 160 pages, 52 b/w illus, from Tempus, 2001, ISBN 0752419110, paperback.<br>

But if you're looking at building a cohort fort, try searching German-language websites that dwell on the limes. Here are some examples:<br>

<br>
my.bawue.de/~wmwerner/dts...elsee.html<br>
<br>
www.hanau.de/stadt/geschi...mer_02.htm<br>
<br>
Do a search on Yahoo (for example) on the following terms:<br>
<br>
Römerkastelle<br>
Römerkastell<br>
numeruskastell<br>
cohortekastell<br>
limeskastell<br>
limes Römische<br>
<br>
and further combinations. (You can make the umlaut-o by holding ALT and typing 148 on your keypad, w/ NUM LOCK on)<br>
<br>
Hope this helps find some good examples!<br>
<br>
The Saalburg reconstruction is of a cohort fort if I remember correctly, but I haven't got the link at hand.<br>
