According to Joesephus, there was a whole Roman legion encamped. A whole Roman legion is about 6000 men plus supporting persons-or about 10,000. A whole Roman legion in no way could be housed in a place that, according to some, was about 6 acres in area. IMPOSSIBLE.

Quite interesting.

If there were any people who could organize their military logistics to support troops in an area where it would hard to do so. It would be the Romans!
