Description: | Fragment of a Roman tent. The army used eight-man tents made entirely from leather. Each one required 70 goat skins, and were made up of panels sewn together. To make the seams waterproof, they were covered by a thin strip of leather attached by three lines of stitching, as seen here (late first or early second century, Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | archaeology living in the North East roman military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
