How Did Ancient Roman Soldiers Sleep When It Was Freezing

How Did Ancient Roman Soldiers Sleep When It Was Freezing? How did Roman soldiers actually survive the night when they were stationed somewhere like Britain or Germany in the dead of winter? Their gear wasn't built for that kind of cold, and yet they held those freezing borders for centuries. In this video we cover how eight men were packed into one tiny tent every night just to share body heat, the clothing Rome officially looked down on but quietly handed out anyway, and a real letter dug out of the mud that proves how seriously soldiers' own families worried about them freezing. The fascinating part is that a lot of what actually kept these men alive was never once shown on any Roman monument, because it wasn't glamorous enough to carve in stone. What do you think would surprise a Roman soldier the most about how we survive winter today?
