When I picture Roman forts, even permanent ones, I picture stockades and wooden structures. This was a little city through and through. Oh, and I was tempted to not give the Guardian the satisfaction, but I so dearly love reconstructions in the end I had to swallow my bile.

The 3D rendering does provide quite a good indication of the size of the port. It's very much larger than I would have ever expected. Thanks.
