Model of Roman tent, Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle, Cumbria, England
Model of a Roman tent, called a papilio (butterfly) because it had 2 flat slides ressembling wings, used by the Roman army while on campaign, at the Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle, Cumbria, England. Tents found in Carlisle were made of goatskin and occupied by 8 soldiers, 2 of whom were always on guard duty. Centurions and other officers had larger, more elaborate tents. Carlisle sits at the Western end of Hadrian's Wall. Hadrian's Wall was built 73 miles across Britannia, now England, 122-128 AD, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, ruled 117-138, to mark the Northern extent of the Roman Empire and guard against barbarian attacks from the Picts to the North. The wall was fortified with milecastles with 2 turrets in between, and a fort about every 5 Roman miles. Picture by Manuel Cohen
