It’s interesting to note, that with all the simplification the model has, it’s pretty accurate in historical terms, since it depicts one of the forts from the Adrian’s Wall. Romans used the term castrum for different sizes of camps – including large legionary fortresses, smaller forts for cohorts or for auxiliary forces, temporary encampments, and "marching" forts. The diminutive form castellum was used for fortlets, [4] typically occupied by a detachment of a cohort or a centuria.

The castles are quite good and big enough, and still available, especially in the U.S. by a reasonable price. Population of Vindolanda (100 AD). "(the Tablets)" (shtml).

According to Lewis & Short, dictionary item linked in External links, General, either the singular or plural form was used – the plural form, castra, had a possible meaning of "tents".In the 11th century, the Normans built a motte nearby, whose settlement formed the nucleus of present-day Caernarfon. Following the 13th-century Edwardian conquest, the earlier work was replaced by Caernarfon Castle. It’s being a long time since it was re-issued, this makes it a hard and expensive piece to collect nowadays. The fort is composed of 21 different parts and they were only molded by one side, more in toy side than a real scale model, but still making a great model. Each soldier was taught the use of every weapon and also was taught to ride. Seamanship was taught at naval bases. Soldiers were generalists in the military and construction arts. They practiced archery, spear-throwing and above all swordsmanship against posts ( pali) fixed in the ground. [27] Training was taken very seriously and was democratic. Ordinary soldiers would see all the officers training with them including the praetor, or the Emperor, if he was in camp. Conducted in parallel with the ordinary activities was "the duty", the official chores required by the camp under strict military discipline. The Legate was ultimately responsible for them as he was for the entire camp, but he delegated the duty to a tribune chosen as officer of the day. The line Tribunes were commanders of Cohortes and were approximately the equivalent of colonels. The six tribunes were divided into units of two, with each unit being responsible for filling the position of officer of the day for two months. The two men of a unit decided among themselves who would take what day. They could alternate days or each take a month. One filled in for the other in case of illness. On his day, the tribune effectively commanded the camp and was even respected as such by the Legate.

Visitors can view the rebuilt north gate, associated ramparts faced with stone walls, and granary foundations. The settlement 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.

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. 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. Dr Smart said: “Despite more than 70 years of scholarship, published maps of the Roman road network in southern Britain have remained largely unchanged and all are consistent in showing that west of Exeter, Roman Isca, there was little solid evidence for a system of long-distance roads." 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”.
