The AD SIGNA MILITES fort measures 40m x 45m, has a wooden palisade, three guard towers at the gates and a surrounding double ditch. Inside are barracks, a kitchen, commanders quarters, blacksmith’s workshop, latrines, well, battle-cart, helmets, armour, swords and other weapons, including a ballista. In addition, there are items of daily living used by roman soldiers.

There is a teaching and recreational area with illustrative models and a small book collection for students.

The virtually perfect structure and organisation represented a powerful psychological weapon in the eyes of the enemy.
