COBI-20078 Roman Legionnaires' Tent

Build a Roman legionary's camp! A detailed set that can now become part of your IMPERIUM ROMANUM collection!

Rome didn't conquer the world solely with the sword. Although its power is primarily associated with the legions, we mustn't forget what truly gave them an advantage in the field: excellent, nearly impregnable fortifications and precisely planned, mobile military camps.

Build a cozy diorama with a Roman tent and numerous props belonging to the legionary stationed there. Take the first step towards building your own modular Roman camp with COBI bricks!

Castrum Romanum, the perfection of military engineering

A Roman military camp, or castrum, was a carefully thought-out complex with a precisely defined layout, combining defensive, logistical, and administrative structures. Camps were most often rectangular in plan. Two main roads intersected perpendicularly, dividing the area into quarters.

In the center was the praetorium, the commander's tent, surrounded by headquarters buildings and warehouses. Guard towers were placed in the corners and signposts, tents, ramparts and defensive ditches ran along the walls.

Each legionary was assigned a place in the tent, and entire units were arranged according to hierarchy. During the Empire's heyday, permanent castra often transformed into permanent settlements, forming the nuclei of future cities.
