Simplicia Martina: wherever the fighting is at the moment. I'm lucky things are a bit quieter in Britannia at the moment but my brother could be sent to fight again any time.

At last we have them all well fooled, well tamed;
they use our baths and lard themselves with oil,
truss up their souls and bodies in the toga…

The Entrance to the Huntarian Museum at Glasgow University.
Opening in 1807, the Huntarian Museum is the oldest public museum in Scotland. Based on the collections of William Hunter, it now houses over one million items.
Of particular note (and well worth checking out) are its collection of marker stones from the Antonine Wall

It’s only January, but this may well end up being my #mudlarking find of the year: a miraculously mostly complete Roman cup. A less common form. Now having its contents x-rayed at the Museum of London. #mudlark #archaeology #romanbritain #history
