Roman fortifcation terms in German
#2
Salve,

"Mauerzug" simply means "wall", literally it would be translated as "course of wall" or "length of wall".

"Umwehrung" simply means parapet or fortification and could be used to refer to the complete system of wall, berm and ditch or to the wall alone but not to the berm alone.
Regards,
