Roman Fort

A Roman fort was a secure military installation used by Roman armies to house soldiers, store supplies, and defend territory. Typically rectangular with walls and watchtowers, it included barracks, administrative buildings, and weapons storage. Located along borders or strategic points, forts allowed Roman forces to maintain control, monitor movement, and project power across the empire. They ranged from small outposts to larger complexes and often served as bases for campaigns or regional administration, playing a key role in the Roman military infrastructure and expansion.
