Roby, Henry John (1872). A Grammar of the Latin Language from Plautus to Suetonius: Second Edition. London: Macmillan. p.453. The influence of a base extended far beyond its walls. The total land required for the maintenance of a permanent base was called its territoria. In it were located all the resources of nature and the terrain required by the base: pastures, woodlots, water sources, stone quarries, mines, exercise fields and attached villages. The central castra might also support various fortified adjuncts to the main base, which were not in themselves self-sustaining (as was the base). In this category were speculae, "watchtowers", castella, "small camps", and naval bases.In December, SCHREIBER-BOGEN offers a special Christmas collection. What are the most popular SCHREIBER-BOGEN ranges? Many of the towns of England still retain forms of the word castra in their names, usually as the suffixes "-caster", "-cester" or "-chester" – Lancaster, Tadcaster, Worcester, Gloucester, Mancetter, Uttoxeter, Colchester, Chester, Manchester and Ribchester for example. Castle has the same derivation, from the diminutive castellum or "little fort", but does not usually indicate a former Roman camp. Whitley Castle however is an exception, referring to the Roman fort of Epiacum in Northumberland. It is now provided with a car park and café and open to the public under its Roman name of Epiacum. 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. 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.

Segontium is generally considered to have been listed among the 28 cities of Britain listed in the History of the Britons traditionally ascribed to Nennius, [4] either as Cair Segeint [5] or Cair Custoeint. [6] Bishop Ussher cites another passage in Nennius: [7] "Here, says Nennius, Constantius the Emperor (the father probably of Constantine the Great) died; that is, near the town of Cair Segeint, or Custoient, in Carnarvonshire". Nennius stated that the emperor's inscribed tomb was still present in his day. [6] Constantius Chlorus actually died at York; the Welsh monument might be for Constantine [5] who was the son of Saint Elen, the supposed patron of the Sarn Helen. Hanson, W.S.; Friel, J.G.P.

The responsibilities ( curae) of the many kinds of detail were distributed to the men by all the methods considered fair and democratic: lot, rotation and negotiation. Certain kinds of cura were assigned certain classes or types of troops; for example, wall sentries were chosen only from Velites. Soldiers could be temporarily or permanently exempted: the immunes. For example, a Triarius was immunis from the curae of the Hastati. Imex started a range of medieval stone fortress in both 1/72 and 1/32 scale, probably after the acquisition of the Accurate brand (at least distributtion), which had in their catalogue figures for this period in both scales, as by its own, Imex never produced a medieval range. The findings were led by Dr Christopher Smart and Dr Joao Fonte, from Exeter’s department of archaeology and history.

SCHREIBER-BOGEN is mainly dedicated to the construction of dioramas and cardboard models that are presented at exhibition fairs. Tourist models 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.

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. This article looks at the many Roman model kits and figure sets that are available. Roman models have proved popular over the years with figures and ships made by Airfix and others.

The military units attested at Manchester included a cohort from Spain, the Bracaraugustanorium, and troops from Austrian and Hungary, the Raetia and Noricor vexillation. The Exeter team studied the scans and together they were able to map about 62 miles (100km) of additional roads.
