Very New light on roman tents construction
#8
Oooo ... I have never heard about this from Sir Ian Richmond Smile

By the way ...

Another small granade into glass of water Smile below :

I have no idea if this was discussed before.
But .. Look on the picture in last post ABOVE.

There is a tent with HEAVY front made out of sewn panels ... for sure leather.
But there is LIGHT front made out of linen or silk on the tent at the far end on the right side.

Similar here :

and

[Image: _taber_5.jpg]

There is no mistake.

There are TWO TYPES of "how to make the front curtains"
I have never seen any reconstruction in this style..

Also ... looking on last picture.
It can be clearly seen : the wooden frames on sides of the front entrance.

And the small tent on the left .. is so closeby.
And no ropes can be clearlyu visible.

Hmmm

Hmmm ....
