Excerpt from Roman and Pre-Historic Remains in Central Germany The Praetorium, which is 60 meters long and 40 meters wide, is in the position where the tent of the commander was placed in a ¿ying Roman camp. It is now almost restored and is to be used as a museum for the various finds. The southern end is a bigwooden-roofed hall with stone walls in which are two stories of windows of which the upper ones are the biggest. It is supposed that during bad weather the soldiers were drilled and practised in throwing the pilum and vaulting on a wooden horse in this hall. Adjoining this to the north is the Atrium, a courtyard open to the sky and surrounded by a wooden-roofed piazza. In the Atrium are two wells, one with a wooden, the other with a thatched roof, and the remains of a little building of uncertain date and use, but which was perhaps a Sacellum for the first or second camp. On the east and west sides of the Atrium, beyond the piazza, are long narrow chambers and to the north is another smaller court, beyond which are several more rooms. The middle one of these was probably the latest Sacellum, where the military insignia and the statues of the gods and emperors were kept.
