In most Roman Forts there was the building known as the Armorum ( armory ) where most weapons were kept, and I'm sure that in more peaceful times that is just where most weapons would have been kept.
The soldiers who were put on evening guard duty would go to the armory to collect their weapons for this task, infact we do find that many pieces of weaponry have soldiers names etched into them and we have to ask ourselves just why this is so.
The soldier in his relief time from duty would I think only have his Pugio, as this appears to be the more personal weapon.
