[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 8987309, member: 1125"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="28212408-6C6F-4E96-A8C3-0ADCD529903C.jpeg"]281419[/ATTACH] Castra Deva (Fortified Camp on the River Dee) was the largest Roman fortress-town in Britannia and stood on the site where Chester now stands. It began life as a palisaded camp in AD47/48 with a fossa ditch and dirt embankment but by the AD70s was a solid stone fort occupied by the 20th Legion (Valeria Victrix). The standard Roman plan was a rectangular structure with rounded corners, with defensive angle towers and interval towers. The 'via principalis' main road ran east to west (it still exists as Chesters Eastgate.) The east gate had a double archway with a statue of the god Mars in the middle. The streets were layed out in a grid. The principia, or headquarters building, was the most important and impressive building within the fortress. A large courtyard surrounded by offices and stores. Behind the courtyard stood a great hall which was known as the basilica. The canabae civilian settlement grew up outside the fort And an amphithetre was built just outside the south east corner of the fort, replete with dungeons, stables, foodstands and a shrine to Nemesis. info taken from [URL='http://www.cheshirenow.co.uk/roman_chester.html']Roman Chester[/URL] oh and to help a Legions Command Structure is 1 Legate (General) 2 Tribune laticlavius (second in command) 3 Camp Prefect 4 Five Tribunes (General Staff) 5 Primus Pilus (Senior Centurion) 6 Centurions who commanded centuria A legion was often divided into 5 cohorts each with 6 centuria (100 men) [/QUOTE]
