Reproduction Roman leather military tents?
#52
Quote:I agree on the unfeasibility of dismantling a common tent. Anyway, there were simpler affairs, 'individual' tents in the from of a square made of several standard goat leather pannels sewn together. The Deurne items were wrapped in one of those 'tents' and Carol van Driel writes that some more have been found elsewhere (one at Vindolanda). Perhaps some of them could be joined in campaign to form something bigger but not a standard tent, in any case.

Aitor

Could it be that the "A Frame" tents were used in a base camp like setting away from any village/fort/whatever, and the individual square panels were used, set up lean to style, by soldiers on the move/on the front line?

Also, do you happen to have any information such as demensions of the individual tents, and the panels that made them up? Were their rope attachments anywhere on them? Making an individual tent is more feasible for myself, as I don't have a contubernium with me 99% of the time.

Cheers,
Adam
