Great straight to the point video. The Romans were masterful engineers.

They were pretty good at crucifixion, too!

my question is thus. after the ambushers sacked the train and fled, burning the wicker rolls in the ditch, what kind of moral did that unit experiance afterwards? its my estimation the double ditches only were dug for a very short span. and maybe single ditches for as many as 120 miles.

Unauthorized vehicles.....what were they?

I would think same local vehicles who didn't pay the tax or road fee. Hence the trenches , etc. Lol
That shit works.
Long ago , the hunting club put up a gate and dug trenches all around it. Worked for a year or two till tires got big lol. Trucks passed. Then the powers that be dug them twice as wide. Lol.
No problem . Trucks just sat there and power braked in turn until they filled in the trench . Lol.

Crucifixion is a bit of a myth , in the classical sense, There is only one example of nails being used to secure someone and that was found in in dig , they have an ankle bone with a nail in it, , They were more likely to be tied to a X , tie arms and legs , , in roman times they only put traitors on an X , The rest had their heads cut off , or used for entertainment in the arena lol

But the knew how to build a good road,

so the postholes along the Apian Way are all fake?

There's an analogy to belief in Christ in that Roman road construction.
