Ave Civitas,
I have a question that may have been already addressed, but if it has, I can't find it.
Did the Roman Army have mess halls? Were there communal eateries in the army? I think it would be a bother for every contuberni or century to have to cook their own meal when they traveled together with the legion.
I can understand this when there is a small detachment on a lone mission, but it seems complicated to have a hundred little cooking fires burning at the same time.
Thanks.
Tom
