Ave,
Holiday greetings to all. With less work due to the holiday down time , the mind wanders, to projects, issues , questions.
We have the roman names for the permanent legionary camps (fortresses) but was there a convention for naming the marching camps or the camps used for short duration during a campaign?
Seems everything inside was named, from the streets to the gates to the command center. Tried to search RAT on this camp name preoccupation and didn't find anything,...also tried a variety of web searches and still the same result. (No info) I can suggest some modern used conventions, such as: commanders name, holiday, day of the week, famous member of the unit, etc.
Any info on how the Romans did it ??
