SUMMARY
=======
In the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, the Latin word castrum (plural castra) was a building, or plot of land, used as a fortified military camp.
Castrum was the term used for different sizes of camps including a large legionary fortress, smaller auxiliary forts, temporary encampments, and "marching" forts. The diminutive form castellum was used for fortlets, typically occupied by a detachment of a cohort or a century. 
In English, the terms Roman fortress, Roman fort, and Roman camp are commonly used for castrum. However, scholastic convention tends toward the use of the words camp, marching camp, and fortress as a translation of castrum.For a list of known castra see List of castra.
