Plan and side views of a Roman fort - Multi-page image (UEB Contracted)

Synopsis

These images show two different views of a Roman fort. There is also a key on the first page. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Plan view of a Roman fort: This image shows a plan of a fort surrounded by an image border on the right of the page and a key explaining the abbreviations and textures used on the two images of a Roman fort on the left of the page. There are four gatehouses in the plan, in the left (west gatehouse), top and bottom centre (north and south gatehouses), and on the right (east gatehouse). The arches which go over the road and link the two halves of the gatehouses are not shown. A central road runs from the left to right of the plan. Halfway along this road a second road runs down to the gatehouse at the bottom of the plan. On either side of this second road there are the barracks where the Roman soldiers would live. To the left of the barracks, resting against the outer wall are the toilets or Roman latrines. In the top half of the plan, up from the central road, are the other buildings of the fort. The Commander's House is to the left with an open central courtyard. Up and to the right are two workshops. To the right of these is a small square with a road leading up and out through the top centre gatehouse. Down from the courtyard is the Administrative Centre which is a large building also with a central courtyard. Right from the square are two store rooms or Roman granaries. Down from them are the stables and then two exercise yards on each side of the road.Side view of a Roman fort: There are two images on this page, at the top of the page there is a view of the fort from the west and at the bottom of the page there is a view of the fort from the east.
