The Roman Army was famed for its mobility. It could march into enemy territory and set up a fortified camp at the end of each day. One reason it could do this was that it had standardized tents which could be folded up and, with the poles, carried on a mule or other pack animal. The tents were leather, usually goatskin. Commander's tents might be linen or even silk.
PaperTerrain is proud to announce its new Roman Tent Sets. They include general's tents, centurions' tents, and the eight-man Contubernium tents used by the common soldiers. The kits come in five different scales (6mm, 10/12mm, 15mm, 20mm and 25/28mm). They can be ordered either pre-printed on cardstock, or as PDF files which you can print-out yourself. Check out our website for the sizes of the tents and how many come in each kit.
