Part of the Antonine Wall near Rough Castle, two miles west of the centre of Falkirk. The Antonine Wall was built from AD142 to 144 and ran for 37 miles (60km) from Bo'ness on the River Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the River Clyde.

What is thought to be the remains of 2,000 year old Roman Ford across the Clyde at Dumbuck to the west of Glasgow. Before the Clyde was deepened in the late 1700s to let ships sail all the way up to Glasgow, it was possible to cross it at this point when the tide was low.
#February was the month of purification, for ancient #Romans.
One of the old rituals is #Lupercalia: young men (luperci) were initiated, and they hit the ground with goat-skin stripes in order to chase away evil spirits.
Also, they "hit" women because the festivity was linked with #Juno, goddess of childbirth.
BBC news “How did a young man born 2,000 years ago near what is now southern Russia, end up in the English countryside?” They failed to ‘stop the boats’? #romans#immigration#tories
One of the main concepts we need to realize to better understand old deities, is that the #calendar was divided in two or three #seasons:
If they were shepherds (e.g. #Celts), it was split in two — summer and winter, if the animals had to graze in the fields or stay in the barn
If they were farmers (e.g. #Romans), the seasons were three: spring, summer and #winter
So, gods could have two or three forms, according to the season: in #Slavic religion, there are both examples.
Bialobog and Czarnobog were called "the white god" and "the black god". The first one turned into the black one at the beginning of #November. One is extrovert and joyful; the other is introvert, loves the dark, and stillness. This is a good example of duality.
Other deities have a young form associated to the #spring, an adult one for #summer, and an old one for winter.
One example is Jarila¹ > Siva² > Koliada³
Excellent talk about the Roman site at Hinton St Mary in Dorset. The recent fieldwork raises a lot of questions about how the site was used, and the Royal Archaeological Institute part funded it. https://www.youtube.com/live/Um6MTMWYCZ0#Romans#archaeology
For #FindsFriday something practical. These 1st-3rd century AD compasses were found a couple of weeks ago during our excavations in #AeliumCetium/ #StPölten
Happy Weekend everyone!
Doing some #storytelling today at the Aquincum Amphitheater in Budapest 😊 Two-day Roman festival, gladiators, battles, living history, all kinds of fun.
I have two sets of stories, one of little known Greek and Roman myths (such as an alternate version of Achilles' heel), and one of Caucasian Nart sagas (since we have Sarmatian reenactors on site). My little archeologist heart is happy 😊
