🎉 Happy Quinquatrus Minusculae! – Music, Merriment, & Minerva! 🎉🪈
🎶 On the Ides of #June ancient Rome rang with the lively sounds of the tibicines—musicians who played the tibia, a double-reeded wind instrument descended from the Greek aulos.
Join us this month for our new event STONE TO STEEL, exploring ancient crafts through history!
✨ Sat 27 - Sun 28 June
A team of blacksmiths & craftspeople will be making items from the Iron Age, Roman, Saxon, Viking & Medieval periods.

Lovely little #FindsFriday from the Roman Army Museum at Magna Fort on #hadrianswall. A brass cavalry harness brooch dated to AD40-125. Beautiful shine & detail. Style points to the cavalry!

Double whammy for #PhallusThursday & #RomanFortThursday...
Lovely clear stone carving on display at @vindolandatrust.bsky.social museum. The phallus proudly takes centre stage, protecting the garrison from evil!

The Ancient Romans definitely knew their drainage! Here we are at Vindolanda tracking the drains down to the latrine. A classy day out!

Bathhouse (and latrine...) with a beautiful river view at Chesters Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall.
Fun features are the recessed arches for storing your belongings & a hot fountain room.

Sandstone gravestone marker of an unknown lady, probably 3rd century AD but no inscription remains. It was repurposed to repair a fort wall - a happy find for a lucky excavator! Love the zigzag dress 👗.
