Quote:(In the fortresses, the higher grade legionary centurions each had even larger quarters.)Were there not also 'officer's clubs' (scholae) in many fortresses? They were legalised by Severus, but if SHA Hadrian can be believed (the reference to 'banquet halls') they must have existed unofficially before then too. I've seen references to scholae for principales and equites legionis as well: would these have been social and dining venues, or did they have some other function?
