<h2 class="mb-2">Castrum</h2>
|
||
<p>Legio XXX has a re-enactment facility near Tillsonburg Ontario, graciously provided by Tom Ross. Over the years, the group has constructed it's own <em>castrum</em> (fort) nestled amidst farmland and forest.</p>
|
||
<p class="mb-2">The <em>castrum</em> (fort) was slowly constructed over several years & is a work in progress:</p>
|
||
<ul class="mt-0">
|
||
<li>2007 - A <em>fossa</em> (trench) was dug and an <em>agger</em> (mound) errected from the soil</li>
|
||
<li>2008 - The front gatehouse was constructed</li>
|
||
<li>2009 - The front <em>vallum</em> (curtain walls) was added, flanking the gatehouse</li>
|
||
<li>2010 - The <em>vallum</em> (curtain walls) was finished, encircling the <em>castrum</em> (fort)</li>
|
||
<li>2011 - Four towers were added, one to each corner</li>
|
||
<li>2013 - A <em>principia</em> (headquarters building) was erected</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p class="mb-2">It continues to host our annual events:</p>
|
||
<ul class="mt-0">
|
||
<li>Castra Aestiva (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022)</li>
