Roman Watchtower Low-poly 3D model

About this model

An accurate late Roman Watchtower structure of timber construction, of the kind commonly found in Northern Europe. Please note that this does not include a finished interior.

Features

• Correct planking patterns and individual timbers, ensuring cracks of light can make their way through the walls for added atmosphere.
• Metal torch holders on the balcony
• Can easily be re-textured if desired, due to timbers being physically modelled.

History

The Romans built numerous towers as part of a system of communications, one example being the towers along Hadrian's Wall in Britain. Romans built many lighthouses, such as the Tower of Hercules in northern Spain, which survives to this day as a working building, and the equally famous lighthouse at Dover Castle; which survives to about half its original height as a ruin.
