Murus Gallicus

Murus gallicus means "Gallic wall" in Latin. It is a type of ancient fortification used by Gauls and Celts during the Iron Age. These walls were made by digging a ditch around the place to be protected and then building a wooden fence on top of the ditch. The fence was made of stakes (poles) that were pointed at one end and driven into the ground.

After the fence was done, rocks and earth were piled up against the fence to make it stronger. Sometimes, the wooden fence was reinforced with another wooden wall or palisade. The Murus gallicus also had a special gate, which was a weak point that could be defended easily. Overall, the Murus gallicus is considered to be a simple but effective form of protection for people during ancient times.
