Most of are aware of the Legion's remarkable abilities to build everything from roads, buildings and bridges to large scale artillery and siege machines and works. But what is known about the men in Legion who planned and directed this work? Were they all simply extra pay soldiers or were specialist engineer officers or civilians part of the Legionary headquarters staff? Would a particularly skilled Centurion be a supernumerary attached to the headquarters as the Legion's chief engineer? Do any gravestones or ancient literary sources give us any clues?
