Hi,
.......I know I'm quite late for this ( as most of the time :whistle: )
1. Thomas Aumüller in his doctorate Thesis of 2002:
Die Porta Praetoria und die Befestigung des Legionslagers in Regensburg / Porta Pretoria and the fortifications of the legionary camp at Regensburg
https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/601014/601014.pdf
On page 229 he states this:
......Dass auch hier eine Gestaltung mit gut teilbaren Maßeinheiten geplant war, könnte neben der Stärke des Torbogens von 3½ Fuß (29,71) die Breite der Tordurchfahrt zeigen: sie ist mit etwa 4.00 m ziemlich genau zu messen, was in 13½ Fuß (29,62) bzw. besser 9 Ellen aufgeteilt werden kann. ......
As the depth of the gate's arch of 3 1/2 ft (29,71cm) und the width of the gates passageway -- measuring quite exactly for 4,00 metres, making for 13 1/2 feet or, better, 9 ells/yards could Show, the design had been planned in well-divideable measuring-units ....
(O.K. -- there are times when my Job sucks out my Brains -- so please forgive that awkward Translation...)
2. The book "Römische Wehrbauten--Befund und Rekonstruktion"/Roman Fortifications -- Findings And Reconstruction" does not help any further, since it's Focus is on the Limes forts. Aumüller's works , however, is also cited herein.
3. The Austrian Website on Vindobona also "would not contribute". :unsure:
4. The book about the excavations at the southern gate of the legionary camp at Vindonissa(Windisch/CH) seems to deal with ist reconstruction around pp278ff. This part, however, has not been included in the parts available online.
