Roman Military Tents Carried in sections by the Men

[richsc]

I was actually surprised when I first picked up the Legio XX leather tent; it's about 45 pounds, and folded it by itself is not too much trouble to heft around. I could put it on a donkey/mule with no real effort. I can't see where it could be divided into sections, however, and easily put back together. Seems to me that is even more stress to the seams, the constant lacing together, than just heaving the whole thing around.
