Castle Greg Roman fortlet in West Lothian. Likely positioned on a Roman road but the road hasn't been traced and there are no other known Roman fortifications in the area.
Recreation of the gate to the Roman fort at Manchester on the site of the original. A bit of a hidden secret in one of my favourite cities.
Haven't done many Roman posts recently so here's Hadrian's head, from Cologne, Germany.

A letter by Paterna (or whatever she's called). New blog post about the oldest writing by a woman in Britain, and why the claim to "the oldest" writing hides the point: literacy permeated Roman society, including women and enslaved people.
