if you're hot-bunking, you can house 24 men in that structure.
3 shifts, only 8 sleeping at a time.
of course, this is rome we're talking about... maybe we had some fellas cuddling up.
Interestingly enough, some suggest that Roman contubernia had 10 men in them (8 legionaries, 2 assistants), and that tents and barracks having 8 sleeping spaces is because 2 men would be rotated on night-time guard duty.
wow that's cool! I was actually just joking but it's cool that there was something like that going on!
