For #RomanSiteSaturday I'm in Ostia...quite a few trips there but this is from 2010.

The Casette Tipo (III.,XII,1-2 - III,XIII,1-2) which I thought an odd name ('typical or standard house') given there aren't any others like it.

Dating from c.AD 100.

And 'medianum apartments'? No...just no.

#RomanSiteSaturday – The clausura of Bir Oum Ali, about 35 miles southeast of Capsa (modern Gafsa), is one of the best-preserved sections of the Fossatum Africae (a network of Roman frontier barriers in North Africa). The imposing 2nd-century wall extends about 600 m and reaches up to 6 m high.

Many people are still surprised to discover that the lands to the north of Hadrian's Wall are dotted with Roman sites including forts, roads, camps and bathhouses. To find out more, check out my books, both currently reduced if you buy direct from the publisher: shorturl.at/7Ytav

Inside the Temple of Jupiter, Emperor Diocletian's personal shrine in his palace at Split, Croatia

#RomanSiteSaturday

It's now a Christian church - the statue is John the Baptist and carving is an 11th Century Croatian king

Diocletian would have been utterly mortified! 😆

The Multangular Tower sits at the corner of the legionary fortress defences at York (Eboracum). Mostly early 4th cent CE, with medieval additions above. The adjoining fort wall almost stands to its original height.
