Anyone with an interest in history would enjoy visiting the museums of #Vindolanda & the #RomanArmyMuseum. Hadrian's Wall was at the edge of a vast, powerful empire; visiting the Wall's impressive remains is a useful reminder that even the greatest empires eventually fall 😉

An opportunity to see Sarah and GrahamAKA @pottedhistory.bsky.social and @potsofhistory.bsky.social plus their very much appreciated, and enthusiastic volunteer helpers in action. www.vindolanda.com/Event/votive... #Northumberland #HadriansWall #Romans #History #Vindolanda #ExperimentalArchaeology

Near Hadrian’s Wall, Romans bred Salukis and Afghans 2,000 years ago. Vindolanda reveals a canine world more diverse—and advanced—than we ever imagined. #AncientDogs #Vindolanda #history #romanempire #archaeology

With the simple and poignant inscription ‘Matri Patri’ (Mum & Dad) ❤️ ❤️

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.

I just saw a pair of second hand shoes described as ‘New in Bog’ and thought of this.
