Question: How Long Did it Take for Julius Caesar to Build the circumvallation and the contravallation?
The circumvallation and contravallation were walls/barriers that Julius Casesar built during the Battle of Alesia. He built them to double siege Vercingetorix, who organized the Gallic tribes to resist the growing Roman oppression. I know the size and width and the like of these two walls, but, I am interested to see how long it took Caesar to build them. If you can give me the time it took to build one of them, that is good, but, if you can give me the time it took to build each wall, that would be even better. Thank you.
