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!
Ya, they got inside and then it was over. I mean they got the troups within the city walls right in with the area of the Temple and that was it.
Not that it would have mattered to the Romans where they would have started from.
But the point is that they housed a legion there. And a legion would have required a hell of a lot more space than modern “scholars” have concluded.
I tend to agree, the present Temple mount was the site of the fort. There was a portico from that fort, south to the Temple area. At least that is what a whole lot are now claiming and they have a point.
