Watch re-enactors demonstrate the construction of a Roman military ditch and wall.
What this video covers
This film records a reconstruction at the Kops Plateau in Nijmegen, in the Netherlands, made by members of the Roman Festival Foundation. It gives a practical impression of the labour involved in creating military defences and is a useful companion to diagrams of Roman forts and camps. The setting is continental and the work is a modern demonstration: it should be used to understand possible construction processes, rather than as an exact model for every Scottish site.
