Following the 13th-century Edwardian conquest, the earlier work was replaced by Caernarfon Castle.

Ramsay's classic article, linked under External links, General, below, covers types of camps and camps in general. This Wikipedia article is heavily indebted but not exclusively to it. Officers were allowed to marry and to reside with their families on base. The army did not extend the same privileges to the men, who were not allowed to marry. [33] However, they often kept common law families off base in communities nearby. The communities might be native, as the tribesmen tended to build around a permanent base for purposes of trade, but also the base sponsored villages ( vici) of dependents and businessmen. Dependants were not allowed to follow an army on the march into hostile territory. The fort may have been briefly abandoned in the late 3rd century, to judge from the last Birdoswald inscription, [11] which records the rebuilding of the commander’s house that had ‘been covered in earth and fallen into ruin’. The Dacian unit, however, may have remained until the end of the 4th century, if information in the Notitia Dignitatum, a list of military and civil service posts across the empire, can be trusted – though there is doubt about its reliablity for the western empire.

In terms of chronology, it is likely that the proposed network is an amalgam of pre-existing prehistoric routeways, Roman military campaign roads or ‘tactical roads’ formally adopted into the provincial communications system, and of those constructed during peacetime in a wholly civilian context,” said Dr Fonte.

Segontium was founded by Agricola in AD77 or 78 after he had conquered the Ordovices in North Wales. It was the main Roman fort in the north of Roman Wales and was designed to hold about a thousand auxiliary infantry. It was connected by a Roman road to the Roman legionary base at Chester, Deva Victrix. Unlike the medieval Caernarfon Castle that was built alongside the Seiont estuary more than a thousand years later, Segontium was situated on higher ground to the east giving a good view of the Menai Straits. The central region of the Via Principalis with the buildings for the command staff was called the Principia (plural of principium). It was actually a square, as across this at right angles to the Via Principalis was the Via Praetoria, so called because the praetorium interrupted it. The Via Principalis and the Via Praetoria offered another division of the camp into four quarters. The terms stratopedon ( army camp) and phrourion ( fortification) were used by Greek language authors to translate castrum and castellum, respectively.

There’s tableware, from lustrous red Samian ceramic probably made in Britain, to animal-decorated hunt cups originating in the Rhine Valley, and a 2000-year-old blue glass blown in the Middle East. It’s all testament to Richborough’s pan-empire connections, and its role as the “Gateway to Britannia”. How to do it In peaceful times the camp set up a marketplace with the natives in the area. They were allowed into the camp as far as the units numbered 5 (half-way to the praetorium). There another street crossed the camp at right angles to the Via Decumana, called the Via Quintana, ( English: 5th street) (from Latin:quintana, the fifth). If the camp needed more gates, one or two of the Porta Quintana were built, presumably named dextra and sinistra. If the gates were not built, the Porta Decumana also became the Porta Quintana. At "5th street" a public market was allowed.

The part of the Retentura ("stretching to the rear") closest to the Principia contained the Quaestorium. By the late empire it had developed also into a safekeep for plunder and a prison for hostages and high-ranking enemy captives. Near the Quaestorium were the quarters of the headquarters guard ( Statores), who amounted to two centuries (companies). If the Imperator was present they served as his bodyguard. A number of Roman chariot kits were produced in the 1950s and 60s, this probably had something to do with the Ben Hur film! All were in 1:48 scale.

Parts of it remain under a road called London Wall.

Housesteads is another large Roman fort near Hadrian’s Wall. It had its own toilets and hospital, and a nearby building known as the Murder House, where two skeletons were found. Is very hard to find information about these castles, according to all the sources,three were planned for the 1/72 scale, but one never was released. A link to the Vindolanda tablets database with introductions, descriptions and bibliography is given under Primary sources below. During the 3rd century repairs and rebuilding took place within the fort. Outside the walled fort the civilian settlement ( vicus), which was made up of buildings with stone foundations set along streets, grew to the east and west and even to the north. [8]

The fort went through several phase of rebuilding and around 160 AD was extended on one side to incorporate granaries. In around 200 AD it was refaced in stone when the Emperor Severus came to the north of England to subdue a revolt.

The Exeter team studied the scans and together they were able to map about 62 miles (100km) of additional roads. Apart from the training, each soldier had a regular job on the base, of which there was a large variety from the various kinds of clerk to the craftsmen. Soldiers changed jobs frequently. The commander's policy was to have all the soldiers skilled in all the arts and crafts so that they could be as interchangeable as possible. Even then the goal was not entirely achievable. The gap was bridged by the specialists, the optiones or "chosen men", of which there were many different kinds. For example, a skilled artisan might be chosen to superintend a workshop. Soldiers were also expected to build the camp upon arrival before engaging in any sort of warfare after a day's march. [28] An aureus of the late republic Lewis & Short under External links, General, as well as many uncited Latin dictionaries, make this suggestion. Italeri issued a MDF building for first time in the Italeri – 6111 – WATERLOO (200years) BATTLE AT LA HAYE SAINTE, using the same MDF model for La Haye Sainte already used by Warlord Games in their 28mm range. The cooperation between both brands was started some before, with Italeri releasing 1/56 models and figures from Warlord Range, and Warlord releasing a couple of the scenery boxes from Italeri.

Each camp discovered by archaeology has its own specific layout and architectural features, which makes sense from a military point of view. Many settlements in Europe originated as Roman military camps and still show traces of their original pattern (e.g. Castres in France, Barcelona in Spain). [25] The pattern was also used by Spanish colonizers in America following strict rules by the Spanish monarchy for founding new cities in the New World.Population of Vindolanda (100 AD).
