legionary eagle and wolfskin

[Crispvs]

Alus,<br>
When you talk about a 'display tent' what do you mean? At our displays we have a military area, containing military tents and equipment. I would call these 'display' tents as they are used as part of our display to give the public a greater feel for the period. Our civilian section also has tents. The public are left in no doubt that these tents are not to be taken as literal images of ancient life, but instead form convenient, portable booths in which each member can display a different aspect of Romano-British life without fear of being soaked by the rain. These latter tents are not reproductions of Roman tents but are still very much display tents. I think then, that both different types of display tent are, in their own way, accurate.<br>
What I do not find to be right is the siting of a large modern tent used for display boards and the like, set within, and dominating a supposedly historically accurate military campsite, such as that used by a well known, long standing Roman re-enactment group.<br>
