Sunday’s #ImageOfTheDay.
From #Vindolanda, the Roman fort near #HadriansWall, a pottery fragment showing a painted cross associated with early Christian worship at the site. The palm leaf was an ancient symbol of victory, here identified with the resurrection of Christ.

love that my fave local museum is saying "nah its a dildo mate" rather than the embarrassed silence historians so often display @vagina_museum have you seen this? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/feb/20/its-not-a-darning-tool-its-a-very-naughty-toy-roman-dildo-found #vindolanda #dildo #Romans #whatHaveTheRomansEverDoneForUs #history #

20th December marked the 4th day of the week-long Saturnalia in the #Roman world.
This letter, found at the fort of #Vindolanda (Britain), contains a fragment of a Saturnalia food order - although the only thing we know they were trying to source were radishes... (📷 BM)

A spectacularly nice day above the temperature inversion that kept the #TyneValley in Northumberland under grey skies all day. #Vindolanda
I had forgotten about #Vindolanda and I used to love reading the tablets
so here a link :) http://vindolanda.csad.ox.ac.uk/
over 400 tablets, made from thinly cut slivers of wood about the size of a modern postcard, on which the correspondent wrote in ink before folding the leaf in half and writing the address on the back,,, an invite to a birthday party ,a request for socks and beer are my favourites,,
"My fellow soldiers have no beer. Please order some to be sent."

#RomanWallWednesday: the Roman road Stanegate where it passes through the fort and town (vicus) of #Vindolanda a little south of Hadrian’s Wall.

It is #ThrowbackThursday ! #Presentation 2.0.
Today, 4 years ago, my first #excavation began, at the age of 29 years old, when usually the first #archaeological experience is at the age of 19. At #Vindolanda I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people of a huge range of ages. All of them had in common the same passion, the study of #history and #archaeology
It is never too late to pursue your dreams.
