Build a Roman watchtower with a palisade and station guards on the borders of your empire or combine it with other sets to create a modular Roman camp!

The watchtower is a symbol of vigilance, strength and readiness of the Roman army. Similar towers appeared on the Limes (Latin: Limes), the border of the Roman Empire. It's up to you whether you build a Roman camp (Castrum) or perhaps begin building a Limes that will stop the hordes of barbarians.

It wasn't used solely for observation. From it, legionaries transmitted signals, controlled enemy movements and commanded the defense of the fort.

With this set you can build a detailed model of a Roman watchtower and begin creating your own empire.

It's the perfect addition to the collection of any brick enthusiast and ancient history lover!

The Roman watchtower, the eyes and guard of the empire!

The tall, wooden structure is the first line of defense against danger. A vigilant guard from the tower scanned the horizon for the enemy, ready to raise the alarm at any moment.

Towers of this type were an integral part of Roman military camps (castrum). The solid structure towered over the palisade, giving the legionaries a tactical advantage.

The set includes:

• Three realistic figures – a Roman legionary in full gear (pilum spear, scutum shield and galea helmet, gladius sword) and two Gallic warriors, armed with an axe, sword and shield, foreshadowing the coming danger.

• A diorama full of details – a tower and a section of a high, fortified palisade, elements of greenery, a barrel with supplies and a legionary standard with the Aquila eagle. Everything creates a cohesive scene made of building blocks, depicting life in a Roman camp. The entire structure is well-thought-out and designed so that the figures can be placed on the tower or the stairs leading to the defensive walls. Ladders practically connect the levels of the tower, further increasing the realism of the set.

• High-quality prints and details – realistic decorations that allow you to use the figures and diorama not only in military scenes but also in everyday moments of life in the camp. A very valuable addition for fans of the IMPERIUM ROMANUM collection is the standard with a printed emblem depicting the Roman eagle with the inscription SPQR.

Build your own Roman fort!

The watchtower is part of a modular set that you can combine with other elements of the Imperium Romanum series from COBI. Add two gates (#20077), another tower (#20076), and two legionary tents (#20078) to build a basic camp. Other configurations are also possible, e.g., four towers and four gates. Based on the instructions, you can also decide whether to build the right or left corner of the palisade to easily fit it into the rest of the structure of the camp (castrum) you have planned.

To create a realistic Roman fort, place the towers at the corners and the gates opposite each other. Connect these elements to recreate the historical, rectangular layout of the castrum. Place two sets with tents in the middle of the camp to complete the modular model.
