I can't imagine that the Roman soldier is going to have any time what ever to go searching for wood poles each time they stop to set up camp, for the advance troop would have marked out the camp site. Then with the arrival of the main body half would be set to work digging the ditches. While the rest would be setting up the tents with the already made poles wrapped in the leather of the tent that was carried on the mules and they would not have had much time left before sunset..
