That depends on where they are when they go to sleep. If you are talking about Roman soldiers on the march, the would make a camp. The Roman Camp was easily built in about six hours. The only difference between the Roman Camp and the Roman City was that the camp would be in a different location the next day. That's how well they did their camps (well they normally had 3 or more legions so that is at least 15,000 men all working on the same project!) It was in the shape of a square with a North, South, East, and West entrince. 8 soldiers would share a tent called canteberniums. The general's tent, called the Praetorium, was located in the center of the camp, where the roads intersected. Outside the general's tent was a flagpole. When certain flags were raised, battle could be signaled. Also in the center were the Taburnaculae, known as the merchant tents. (I just got finished studying the Roman army, their camps, and ships).
