There would I think have been very good furniture used by high ranking officers in the Roman military, the situation for a young Tribunus Laticlavus ( a person of high status in Roman life ) is where in his early 20s would be sent maybe to work with a govenor of a province.
The govenor would no dought have a very good life style indeed and the Tribune also would share this kind of style even in the field with many comforts.
Then even with a Centurian we only have to look at the kind of quarters he had on the end of a barrack block ( almost three times that of a Contaburnium ) with a complete set of rooms for his needs indeed he might even have had a slave to cook and clean for him.
