The Roman Army (3328 words)
Each Contubernium is usually assigned a pack mule to carry the tent and other heavy gear, at least from the time of Marius on.
Since each Contubernium has a mule to carry the tent, space for the mules has to be provided as well.
If the models of the tents of the Contubernium and the centurion are accurate, then there would appear to be several difficulties with the standard descriptions of the Roman camps.
march-legion (2925 words)

The elements of the contubernium are: 10 soldiers, 1 10' by 10' tent, 1 mule and 1 servant.
