ENTER THE ROMAN LEGION
Quote:
- papilio:
The butterfly or military tent was made of sewn leather sections and measured 10 x 10 Roman feet, which housed a contubernium of 8 legionaries when on campaign. The 8 tents allocated to each centuria were pitched close together in a straight line (hemistrigium) with the tent of the centurion at the end of the line closest to the vallum.
