The Wikipedia article illustrated the importance of engineering and its effect on the successes of the Roman military throughout ancient Rome. The article broke the subject into fortified camps, bridge building, siege machines, road making, civilian engineering by Roman troops and mining operations. It summarized each subject and then described the situation when these engineering marvels benefited the troops.
Criteria:
1. The length of the article is 1271 words.
2. The search term was Roman road building project. The Wikipedia title is Roman Military Engineering.
3. The disambiguation link displayed other readings with similar titles and concepts.
4. In the page discussion there was dialogue between two authors. They were discussing why certain topics were not discussed in article.
5. On the history page there were 500 hundred changes to the article. The first change was November 5, 2006 and the last change was August 31, 2008.
6. There was one external links.
7. There were not any primary or secondary references listed.
8. There were five items listed for further reading.
Overall, I would recommend the article because it gives a constructive overview of the engineering marvels that helped propel the Roman military during ancient times. It was fascinating to see how engineering inventions were able to change the course of a battle or a war.
