Castrensian

/kæˈstrɛn.ʃən/ adjective

Etymology

From Latin 'castrensis' (relating to a camp) plus the English adjectival suffix '-ian', meaning 'of or relating to military camps'.

Kelly Says

Scholars use 'castrensian' principles to understand how Roman legions maintained control across vast empires—the camp layout itself was a message of Roman power and technological superiority to conquered peoples.
