Roman Forts

Roman forts were fortified military structures built by the Roman Empire to protect borders and maintain control over conquered territories. Typically constructed from stone or wood, these forts contained barracks for soldiers, storage facilities, command centers, and defenses such as walls and ditches. They were strategically located along roads and frontiers, serving as bases for troops and supply depots. Roman forts played a crucial role in the administration, defense, and expansion of the empire, allowing for efficient troop movement and control over local populations, while also fostering trade and Roman cultural influence in occupied regions.
