La densité et la répartition de ces forts remettent en question la notion selon laquelle ils servaient uniquement de barrières défensives. Les constructions 2e & 3e av JC suggèrent une frontière romaine axée sur le commerce et la communication, plutôt que sur la défense points névralgiques pour les voies de passage du commerce et la diffusion de la culture romaine

Nearest I was able to manage of capturing the full fort exhibit, including the moat, ancient French flag, hedges, arched entrance, and wooden wall barrier. Here all seen from an angle, standing below a large oak tree.
