From Roman Military Equipment - Bishop and Coulston, pg. 116.
"...The construction they (McIntyre and Richmond, 1934) offered, based on a compromise between misinterpretations of depictions on Trajan's Column and the space allowed for each tent in Pseudo-Hyginus' description of a Roman camp, has had to change as more finds of leatherwork have been made.....It is now thought that at least one variety of the Roman tent was much bigger than Richmond and McItyre had envisaged and may in fact have had a wooden frame inside."
Cheers,

"Cracked skull and cleft jaw,
Splintered spear, broken sword,
Dead prefect, dead tribune!
Death to the Romans!
Bright beams our blaze tonight;
Great the Cherusci clan;
Drink we a health to thee,
Hermann, our hero!" W. Beare
