“300 oak posts”

aka, “pilings.”

How did they sink pilings in a river bed without a pile driver and a barge? Did they build diversion dams? Engineers want to know.

There’s a reason why Roman structures are still plentiful to this day... They knew how to build stuff. Most, if not all of todays structures will not be around 2,000+ years from now... Actually... Lot’s of them won’t be around in 100 years.

The Romans were apparently busy beavers.

They did much to advance Civilization.
