Build a Roman legionary's camp! A detailed set that can now become part of your IMPERIUM ROMANUM collection!
Rome didn't conquer the world solely with the sword. Although its power is primarily associated with the legions, we mustn't forget what truly gave them an advantage in the field: excellent, nearly impregnable fortifications and precisely planned, mobile military camps.
Build a cozy diorama with a Roman tent and numerous props belonging to the legionary stationed there. Take the first step towards building your own modular Roman camp with COBI bricks!
Castrum Romanum, the perfection of military engineering
A Roman military camp, or castrum, was a carefully thought-out complex with a precisely defined layout, combining defensive, logistical, and administrative structures. Camps were most often rectangular in plan. Two main roads intersected perpendicularly, dividing the area into quarters.
In the center was the praetorium, the commander's tent, surrounded by headquarters buildings and warehouses. Guard towers were placed in the corners and signposts, tents, ramparts and defensive ditches ran along the walls.
Each legionary was assigned a place in the tent, and entire units were arranged according to hierarchy. During the Empire's heyday, permanent castra often transformed into permanent settlements, forming the nuclei of future cities.
Tents, Legionary Homes
The contubernium was the smallest organized unit in the Roman army and consisted of eight legionaries. Each contubernium had its own tent, approximately 3 meters wide and 1.5 meters high. Ten such groups formed a centuria.
Within the camp, the centuria tents were placed tightly together, side by side, in a single row. At the far end of the row was the Centurion's Tent – similar in size to the others.
Roman Modular Set from COBI
The Roman tent diorama can become part of a larger whole. Now you can start building a full-size Roman fortress! Simply connect four towers (#20076 Watchtower), placing them in the corners of the camp, and then attach two gates (#20077 Roman Camp Gate) on opposite sides, connecting them to the towers.
Inside the palisade you can arrange dioramas with one or two tents, according to your own concept.

All these additions make the set perfect both as a toy and as part of larger scenes or collectible dioramas.
Intuitive Instructions - Thanks to the simple and clear instructions, building the set will be easy even for less experienced builders. It's an excellent option for people of all ages who want to explore the secrets of historical model construction.
Ideal for Young and Old - The set is perfect for younger modelers (8+) and will also look great on the shelf of a mature collector who wants to have a model from the Roman Empire era in their collection.
A modular camp element - the tent can be part of an entire modular Roman camp. Combine it with other sets from the IMPERIUM ROMANUM series. The elements connect together to create a realistic, enclosed fort consistent with the layout of a historical castrum.
Wide Selection - Build Your Own Empire! - Also check out other sets from the IMPERIUM ROMANUM series, combining them with Be yourself and create your own scenarios! Build a Roman camp, send patrols, clash with Celtic barbarians, set out to conquer the furious Germans and avoid being trapped! In the world of building blocks, you build history.
In this set you'll find:
• Roman legionary – armed with a realistic shield (scutum), sword (gladius), armor (lorica segmentata), javelin (pilum), and helmet (galea). After removing the armor, the figure wears a Roman tunic and has a special block with a print of dangling belts (baltea).
• Tent model for the contubernium – add an brick-built camp diorama filled with stones, plants and a lawn surrounding the tent, as well as a shade tree.
• Attractive accessories – the diorama around the tent contains items that could have been found in a Roman camp. You'll find: barrels, a shovel, weapon racks and armor. A pillow, a fire pit with roasting fish, and even a bench. These additions make the whole thing look authentic and attractive.
Every detail of this tent brings you closer to a better understanding of the daily life of Roman legionaries – from the way their temporary quarters were constructed to the organization of space during a march. By building this model, you are not only recreating a fragment of history but also becoming part of a larger endeavor, culminating in a vast and faithfully reconstructed Roman camp – the heart of the military might of the Roman Empire.
Grab the bricks, set up the tent, and step into the world of the legions. Build the camp and prepare an expedition to conquer the provinces!
