Description: | Plans of the cavalry-barracks discovered in 1997 at Segedunum Roman Fort and later at Arbeia Roman Fort. Each front room held three horses and is marked by a long pit (in yellow) used to collect horse-urine. Each rear room would house three cavalrymen and is marked (in red) by the hearth used for cooking and heating. Officers and their horses lived in the large houses at one end. Each barrack hold a troop (turma) of 30 men and one officer (decurio). | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.britisharchaeology.450950 | Go to resource |
