Roman soldiers sometimes stayed at a fort for 25 years, and the daily routine was hard. Soldiers had to run 30 km, practice archery and throwing spears, and complete various chores. Following an historical timeline, the first offer by Airfix we want to mention, is the Roman Fort. It’s maybe not the most accurate thing, specially in terms of scale, but it was an amazing complement for the Airfix figures compatibles with the Fort. It depicts a stone fortress and started to be issued in 1969, stated as HO-OO scale then, and since them it has seen several reissues, many times grouped with the Roman and Ancient Britons figures by Airfix. The largest castra were legionary fortresses built as bases for one or more whole legions. [14] [15]A castrum was designed to house and protect the soldiers, their equipment and supplies when they were not fighting or marching. Every camp included "main street", which ran through the camp in a north–south direction and was very wide. The names of streets in many cities formerly occupied by the Romans suggest that the street was called cardo or cardus maximus. This name applies more to cities than it does to ancient camps. [21]

The streets, gates and buildings present depended on the requirements and resources of the camp. The gates might vary from two to six and not be centred on the sides. Not all the streets and buildings might be present.

[6] Bishop Ussher cites another passage in Nennius: [7] "Here, says Nennius, Constantius the Emperor (the father probably of Constantine the Great) died; that is, near the town of Cair Segeint, or Custoient, in Carnarvonshire". Nennius stated that the emperor's inscribed tomb was still present in his day. [6] Constantius Chlorus actually died at York; the Welsh monument might be for Constantine [5] who was the son of Saint Elen, the supposed patron of the Sarn Helen. The polemic manufacturer, had issue many times in their limited series boxes excellent resin pieces, and many of them fitting this article about Forts and Castles. It’s impossible for us at this moment trace and list every single BUM box which contained a resin piece, but we want to overview some of the most important here, without join any other polemic discussion.This article needs additional citations for verification.

A veteran with a certain skill continued it as a contractor for the army. For example, a gladiarius or maker of swords, became a negotiator gladiarius, a supplier of swords. There were a large number of such names: the negotiatores vestiarii for clothing, frumentarii for grain, salsari leguminari for the salted vegetable concession, and so on. In Latin usage, the singular form castrum meant 'fort', while the plural form castra meant 'camp'. [2] The singular and plural forms could refer in Latin to either a building or plot of land, used as a fortified military base. [3] In the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, the Latin word castrum [1] ( pl.: castra), was a military-related term.

There’s tableware, from lustrous red Samian ceramic probably made in Britain, to animal-decorated hunt cups originating in the Rhine Valley, and a 2000-year-old blue glass blown in the Middle East. It’s all testament to Richborough’s pan-empire connections, and its role as the “Gateway to Britannia”. How to do it

The Via Principalis went through the vallum in the Porta Principalis Dextra ("right principal gate") and Porta Principalis Sinistra ("left, etc."), which were gates fortified with turres ("towers"). Which was on the north and which on the south depends on whether the praetorium faced east or west, which remains unknown. Although this represented a significant advancement, the overall picture remained fragmented and patchy, with large portions of the map showing no evidence of Roman roads. The duty year was divided into time slices, typically one or two months, which were apportioned to units, typically maniples or centuries. They were always allowed to negotiate who took the duty and when. The most common kind of cura were the posts of the sentinels, called the excubiae by day and the vigilae at night. Wall posts were praesidia, gate posts, custodiae, advance positions before the gates, stationes.
