6 “An infrastructure to ensure the provision and transport of the building materials”.

7 “At the same time, it may be confirmed that there was no Roman defensive wall at this site”.

8 “And what happened to the part of the old defensive wall that encircled the southern part of the Münsterberg? … Very probably, this part of the earlier wall still existed intact. Then only a junction with the northern fortress wall needed to be built. That spared the effort of building 500 m of new walls”.
