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.

The warm room (tepidarium) and cold plunge pool (brr!) in the west range at Chedworth, Gloucestershire, UK. The villa reached its peak in the 4th century CE, and was occupied into the 5th century after Roman rule had ended.

The Romans came to Bath nearly 2,000 years ago, built an enormous bathing and religious complex around a hot spring, and left behind curse tablets, coins, temples and some remarkably good plumbing.

For #FindsFriday we have two boxwood combs, one of which was found still in its leather pouch in the Commanding Officer’s residence at #Vindolanda and dating to before 100 C.E.

All combs found were made on the continent and imported.

Around 2,000 years ago, someone stationed at Vindolanda in northern Britain wrote asking for socks, sandals and underpants to be sent to him.

Apparently, British weather has been defeating wardrobes for a very long time.

The ‘Colchester Sphinx’ which was found in the garden of the General Hospital at Colchester in 1821. Dating to the 1st century AD, the sculpture was probably part of a tomb. Now part of the collections at Colchester Castle. #StoneworkSunday #Colchester #RomanBritain

Excellent. The Black Down fortlet is my local #RomanSite. Good to see it getting a bit of attention.
