A 2000-year-old Roman bridge has been discovered in Aegerten, Switzerland. Over 300 oak piles were unearthed. Based on current dendrochronological analysis, the earliest construction dates back to approximately 40 BC, while the most recent parts are from 369 AD.

In Aegerten (BE), archaeologists have uncovered remains of a Roman bridge used between ca. 40 BCE and 369 CE. More than 300 oak piles and everyday finds—tools, nails, coins, even a wooden plane—shed light on life along the Roman road network. #Archäologie #Bern #Romans

Did you know that there is a research #database for #Roman Samian Ware comprising information on names on Terra Sigillata / Corpus Vasorum Arretinorum (merged into one database), name marked decorated vessels, and Ovolo vessels?

For #FindsFriday, here are two versions of the same thing: a decorated curved rectangular #scutum boss of legio VIII Augusta. The complete one comes from the Tyne near South Shields (possibly a shipwreck site) & the less complete from #Vindonissa.

a new publication on the 101 inscriptions of Vindonissa has just been published: an in-depth catalogue but also essays on specific aspects of the corpus discovery, preservation, geology, as well as essays on the votive and funerary inscriptions.
