Once emperor, he headed in a totally different direction. Instead of expansionist wars, he focused on Roman law, pushed the Antonine Wall forward in Britain, and kept things stable for over two decades. #RomanBritain #HistoryBuff

The imposing walls of Burgh Castle Roman Fort in Norfolk (Gariannonum). Built during the late 3rd century, the fort was one of a series of ‘Saxon Shore Forts’ constructed to defend Britain against incursions from Saxon raiders. 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday #RomanBritain

Two Roman forts, neither visible, still shaping the villages above them. Hadrian’s Wall begins as an exercise in seeing the hidden frontier.

Figure symbolising Winter, with hood, cloak and dead hare, from a mosaic (part geometric, part figurative) in Chedworth villa's west range. The room was probably used for dining (triclinium), although too small for major functions.
