Unless you can see a future for this as a stand alone (the road building elements are covered nowhere else on the guide) entry I think it has some merit but opinion is against it. I have pulled it out of PR and put it in EGWW until I sort it out I still need ideas and input.http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F57153?thread=4398407 1. It will be added to uniuque material eg how to build a bridge, aquaduct, villa, defensive wall and marching camp OR 2, form a linking peice for this lot A24369951 Watling Street Dover (Portus Dubris) to Brecon (Gaer, Y Gaer). In EG A24778704 Fosse Way - Exeter (Isca Dumnoniorum) to Lincoln (Lindum Colonia). In PR With related entries shch as... A24591099 The Groma: The Tool That Built An Empire In EG A22747935 The Roman Invasion of Britain In PR In construction Ermine Street - London (Londinium) to York (Eboracum).

At a glance there seem enough simillarties between the two entries to justify a re-think. I see you've produced another potential uni project's worth of entries on this subject bob (no suprise there) but, rather than the link entry idea, I personally favour, if you feel you have the knowledge, an entry on Roman contruction methods generally. Obviously we'd need to check that this iuformation isn't already inb the eg, but covering aqueducts and other famous roman structures (drainage, perhaps?) would surely make for an interesting entry and would enable to to incorporate the new stuff in this entry without replicating what's already out there.
