Roman Military Tents Carried in sections by the Men
#8
Raymond Selkirk thinks that the whole reliance on Carts is overrated. he suggests that most heavy baggage was carried by shallow boats, and that most Roman forts, marches and roads wwere near or along waterways, shallow or deep.

discusses this theory in one geographic area, but it may well apply to most of Europe. The book is called "On the Trail of the Legions" ISBN 1-897874-08-1
