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).
