A centurion holds a plan of the fort whilst his general gives orders. The Roman legionaries do the skilled masons' work, whilst the Britons take on the labourers' job carrying stones and cement. To the right, the general's wife and son have stepped onto the ramparts and the little boy aims a kick at one of the litter bearers.
