#trimontium — Public Fediverse posts

A #Roman bone die found at #Trimontium. The die is very similar to a modern example. The points are marked by incised circles with holes in the centres and someone last threw it sometime between AD80-100. This is part of @NtlMuseumsScot collection.

Rather stunned to find #SherlockHolmes author #ArthurConanDoyle wrote a #spooky short #story about the #Trimontium #Roman fort archaeological dig in the early 1900s at #Melrose in the #ScottishBorders. Here’s a link to it online. https://www.arthur-conan-doyle.com/index.php/Through_the_Veil #Scotland #GhostStories #Horror #HorrorStories #ShortStories #ScottishFiction #Archaeology #RomanBritain #ConanDoyle #Fiction

Spent quite a bit of time during the last 2 days inventorying medals and updating their locations in Axiell. All I can see is numbers every time I close my eyes! However, I got some light relief when my son showed me his playmobil set up of the Romans invading Britain (he's doing the Romans at school) Need to get him over to #Trimontium ! The ominous Tyrannosaurus Rex in the background made me chuckle #RomanScotland #cataloguing #museum #parentsofmastodon
