  3. A Hadrian’s Wall souvenir from 2nd century CE is found in Spain.

    Researchers from the CSIC and the National Archaeological Museum have published a study of the ‘Berlanga cup’, an exceptional Roman piece from the 2nd century CE made in Britain and found in Soria.

    It’s the only one of its kind with data from the eastern flank of Hadrian’s Wall.

  4. Vindolanda

    Ever thought history was all sewn up? Vindolanda will put you right on that.

    I have never had much time for museums. My attention wanders, especially when herding the young scion at full tilt through tourist traps. But Vindolanda stopped me in my tracks.

    What makes it work is simple: the ruins and the finds sit together. You see the thing, then you see where it came fro ...

  5. From 2016 near the end of my walk along the route of the Roman 'Hadrian's' Wall in the NE of England.

  6. Some new reading material has arrived. Probably the next two on the physical reading list. Hadrian's Wall by Adrian Goldsworthy seems like a good starting point to get some reading in on the subject before my #hadrianswall trip later in the summer, and I've enjoyed his other histories that I've read.

    And it unfortunately seems like a rather fitting time to read George Orwell's #1984GeorgeOrwell

  11. Poking my head in here again.

    Wondering if anyone has done the #hadrianswall path has any idea about how feasible a little side quest to Vindolanda would be? Booked a short walking trip for later in the year and I'll be stopping in Once Brewed between days, but that's at the end of a 20km day and start of a 15km day.

  12. Sewingshields trig point from this morning... trying not to look cold!! 🤣 It was just fingers (mainly thumbs) that were the problem, and this could be related to a combo of strong/cold winds and Pacer-Poles? Fabulous route though, from Housesteads to Sewingshields, looping up around Haughton Common, and joining the Pennine Way back to the Wall. Beyond Housesteads, we only met farmers and sheepdogs all day! 😅

  13. I suppose I can't exactly claim this photo is much different to my last photo, but it 'IS' a different tree. 🤣📷

  14. Yesterday afternoon's boxing day walk became a bit of a race against sunset! This is with my current default setup: Sony A7cII and a Viltrox 20mm prime fitted with a 1/8th black pro-mist filter. I find the filter very subtle most of the time, but here you can definitely see light spilling around the tree.📷

  15. Roman soldiers defending Hadrian’s Wall had intestinal parasites.

    Excavations of sewer drains at the Roman fort of Vindolanda near Hadrian’s Wall in northern England, occupied by Roman soldiers from the 1st to the 4th century CE, have revealed the presence of several parasites that can cause debilitating illness in humans.

    Well worth a read if you've an interest in Roman history in England and fancy a picture of everyday life on the northern border of the empire. The Vindolanda tablets are absolutely fascinating if you've not seen or heard about them before.
