Product Description

Step back into the height of the Roman Empire and secure the borders of civilization with the COBI Roman Camp Gate (Set #20077). This meticulously designed building set captures the architectural essence of a Roman castrum. These fortified military camps served as the backbone of Roman expansion and defense across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Historical Background: The Limes Germanicus

During the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, the Roman Empire constructed the Limes Germanicus, a vast network of forts and watchtowers designed to monitor and control the border with Germanic tribes.³ These wooden and stone gates were the primary checkpoints for trade and the first line of defense during major engagements, such as the Marcomannic Wars.

In these camps, disciplined Roman Legionnaires stood watch against incursions while managing the flow of commerce with Barbarian merchants, who often brought livestock and furs to exchange for Roman goods. This set allows you to recreate the tension and daily life of the frontier where two worlds met.
