Roman forts were not designed primarily as defences against attack. That was only a secondary purpose. That were first & foremost bases acting as springboards for attack, & as secure places from which to control & police an area. They were always located in Roman held territory, not in enemy lands. These coastal forts could not themselves protect the whole coastline, an enemy could simply land in the wide spaces between each fort. The forts stood as places where supplies & trading could safely take place, & from where naval & land patrols could go out to seek out & oppose enemy raiders. The origin of some of these forts is likely during the separatist Empire of Postumus in the 3rd century, as bases from which to oppose attack from the 'legitimate' Empire, & nothing to do with 'Saxons' at all. Only much later did the idea of a 'Saxon Shore' come about, into which this series of forts have been integrated, but which may not have been relevant at the time.
"Thank you so much for sharing this detailed explanation, Daniel! I really appreciate the additional context about the purpose and origins of Roman forts. It’s fascinating to learn how they served as springboards for attack and bases for control rather than purely defensive structures. The point about the coastal forts and their role in supply and patrols is especially insightful-I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future videos to add more depth to the historical narrative. I love engaging with viewers who have such a passion for history. Feel free to share more insights anytime!"
@RoamingLensWalker Thank you for your response. Roman forts could not work against major assaults, but the Romans hoped to defeat any enemy out in the field before their forts came under attack, but they were clearly able to defend against small scale raids. The very presence of the forts, & the troops they held, were enough of a deterrent to prevent aggression.
