When we visited #Roman Vindolanda last month, the fabulous new archaeology centre, dedicated to Robin Birley, was almost ready to open. It replaces the much-loved shed previously used by volunteer archaeologists. pic.twitter.com/oHuK1JHmPm

We visited Wroxeter #Roman town last weekend with its wonderful baths complex; the 7m high basilica wall, known as the āOld Workā & hypocaust tile stacks. The baths had an open-air plunge pool, an unusual feature in Roman Britain which went out of use quite quickly & was infilled pic.twitter.com/etk6w6pueA

In the #Roman world, the laurel tree was believed to have protective powers against evil spirits & illness - public buildings & homes were decorated with laurel branches or had laurel trees planted outside, & people would wear laurel leaves for extra protection #FolkloreThursday pic.twitter.com/ncAlhrKNVy

Coins showing the transformation of the #Roman Emperor Nero from 12 years old, at twenty, thirty & just before his death in 68AD. He first appears on coins during the reign of his stepfather, Claudius and is shown as a slender youth. By the time of his death, he appears obese. pic.twitter.com/o21igUH1uV

In the #Roman world cats were kept as beloved pets but were not particularly used to catch mice & other pests around the home - instead, the Romans used (tamed) weasels for this job.

Wow it's hot out there! Remember to stay hydrated throughout the day, or as this #Roman trier black-slipped ware beaker advises: NOLITE SITIRE = "Don't thirst".

Followers defending a #Catholic #Church, St Francis #Cathedral that has a history of over 300 years in Xi'an #China. It was said that #CCP is going to demolish it.
The cathedral was first constructed in 1716 and is where the #Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Xi'an locates. pic.twitter.com/hG9UewRAXw

Weāll look at some of the popular preconceptions of #Roman Scotland, and the evidence that challenges this. So what did the Romans know about Scotland, before they arrived? They knew it was an island - this is a C15 map from a Greek source - Ptolemy #RomanMystery pic.twitter.com/R3FoywTscv

The ruins of the #Roman town of Nora (Sardinia).
Originally a Phoenician settlement, it came under Roman control after conquest of Sardinia in 238BC, & prospered as a trading port until the C4th/5th AD.

This is #Roman Scotland in the Flavian period, the earliest confirmed period of activity in Scotland, although there is some limited evidence of earlier incursions. Carlisle is already occupied by the Romans around AD 72 pic.twitter.com/nsiDB4jzhn

In 1833, an anonymous skeleton was exhumed from its grave in the #Roman Pantheon. People believed that it may be the remains of the famous Renaissance artist #Raphael. Now, scientists have confirmed that this is his tomb by using modern technology.
