| 72 A.D. | The size of the soldier's tent is confirmed by low walls erected during the siege of Masada in A.D. 72. Josephus states that they built the walls to increase the head room in the tents for a long stay. Presumably the centurion's tent already had adequate height. | Flavius Josephus Bellum Iudaicum. | The Jewish War, Penguin 1988. Trans. Williamson 1959, revised 1970, revised again by E Mary Smallwood, 1981. Drawn from both the AJ and BJ mms (Loeb only uses AJ). |
