人物档案
Such contubernium relationships in Roman times were generally between slaves or else a free citizen and a slave, in this case a rising Roman magistrate and a recently freed slave.
The contubernium was the smallest organized unit of soldiers in the Roman Army and was composed of eight legionaries, the equivalent of a modern squad. The men within the contubernium were known as contubernales. Ten contubernia were grouped into a centuria. Soldiers of a contubernium shared a tent, and could be rewarded or punished together as a unit.
