Which construction challenge explains why Roman fortifications exhibit variable ashlar layer height?

💡 Explanation

When building Roman fortifications using locally sourced stone, variable layer heights arise because the mechanism of material availability fluctuated; therefore, ashlar blocks varied, rather than constant dimensions needed optimal material use and thermal compensation.
