Quoted text:
Army camps in particular were planned according to strict rules. The urban historian A.E.J. Morris[1] (1979: p. 39; see Illustration 9.12) described the typical Roman camp (many of which subsequently developed into permanent towns) as being laid out according to a standardized gridiron plan regardless of size: “The perimeter was square or rectangular; within this two main cross streets form the basis of the strict structure—the decumanus, through the center of town, and the cardo, usually bisecting the decumanus at right angles, towards one end.”
