Tent panel

This leather tent panel was found during excavations at the site of the Roman fort at Newstead in Roxburghshire. It was used between 80 and 180 AD.

The tent panel has stitch marks on three sides.

Leather was used for a wide range of objects necessary to a Roman soldier, including tents, saddles, harness, shoes, clothing, belts, purses, shields and shield covers. Elsewhere in the Roman empire, there is even evidence of taxes demanded in hides.
