Col Edge Gibbson,
I woulds like it very much to get the article. Altough I have to say that I found a link to a site that leads me to belive that the romans did in fact only use leather. Here is the site: http://www.geocities.com/historyoftents/intro.html
It dose say something about a scene from the Barberini mosaic at Palestrina, showing soldiers by the Nile in Egypt in attendance on the future Emperor Augustus whois sitting under a fabric shade. This is far from being evidence that the Romans used a form of cloth tent. So I will conceed to the facts. Anyway I thank you all for your imput as well as helping a new comer. I would in deed be interested in anything that would show the use of tents and the life of a common soldier. I am in the army in Iraq right now and hve had the luck to get to see first hand the ruins of Babylon, very impressive. Again thank you all for the help!
