Quote:My idea was to build a timber fort with earth rampart. With time, all buildings would evolute from a timber to earth bricks with a timber structure. Are there any good excavations for this two type of forts?In Hispania, it looks as if forts may have begun as stone-built structures -- I'm not sure what sort of timber resources were available in the Roman period. Here is the recently-published fort of Aquis Querquennis in Galicia, which appears to be a stone-built structure of Flavian date.
