Caesar's Legions: The Roman Camp

The Castra A Place of Safety

The Castra: Big or Small There Is No One Size

To conclude here we see the general view once more. Using this set-up we were able to make the camp as big or small as we wished. This could be achieved by simply making the gate ways wide or narrow. The ramparts remain the same length but the overall layout could be reduced by a foot or more in length and width by reducing the gate widths. If you create a similar camp the gates should be wide enough to admit at least a one stand wide but not more than 4 stands wide. This would be determined by the camp size. Obviously a legionary camp would be larger than a cohort sized camp. This diorama is now in Texas with Tom Young.
