The ground plans of the military hospitals in legionary fortresses up to the end of the 1st century AD are described. During that period the design of these valetudinaria was brought to maturity. Assuming that the interpretation as valetudinarium is correct, general requirements for hospitals allow evaluating the functionality and efficiency of these buildings. Especially water supply, heating, building hygiene, and living conditions in the wards are discussed. This approach on the one hand confirms the interpretation of these ground plans as those of valetudinaria, on the other hand it gives us a new realistic assessment of the conditions under which interns, nursing services and patients alike worked and lived in such a valetudinarium.
本文描述了公元1世纪末之前军团要塞中军事医院的平面图。在那个时期，这些伤病员疗养所的设计已臻成熟。假设将其解释为伤病员疗养所是正确的，那么医院的一般要求有助于评估这些建筑的功能和效率。文中特别讨论了供水、供暖、建筑卫生以及病房的生活条件。这种方法一方面证实了将这些平面图解释为伤病员疗养所平面图的正确性，另一方面也让我们对实习生、护理服务人员以及患者在这样一个伤病员疗养所中工作和生活的条件有了新的现实评估。
