Does archaeology reveal the dimensions of the 23 forts Caesar initially built to keep Vercingetorix's forces within Alesia? were they large enough to require a oohort sized garrison?
Were these forts sited to support the siege works his troops constructed later or were they incorporated into these defenses (like bastions to provide flanking fires against attackers)?
