A section of #HadriansWall was excavated over the last 3 weeks to find the line of the wall and the site of Milecastle 76 at the western end of the wall. This remarkable section was exposed including a cut showing the early turf wall which was rebuilt in stone during the later 2nd century.

The column of Marcian dates to the mid 5th Century AD and stood on one of the major routes into Constantinople but was surrounded by buildings and lost from public view until a fire in 1908 opened up the area revealed it again #Istanbul #archaeology #türkiye

Up taking in the view from #Newcastle Keep built directly on top of the Hadrian’s Wall fort of Pons Aeli. The remains of the central buildings are marked out in the pavement. The Roman bridge was located by the swing bridge (red and white) on the river Tyne #hadrianswall

Looking east over the remains of turret 45a on #HadriansWall, the turret was built earlier than the wall as a watchtower but incorporated into the wall system

The National Trust had a very successful day with events at Ambleside Roman Fort this Sunday and great to see such an interested turnout to take the guided tours. I hope there will be more and possibly see a bath house dig? @NationalTrust.org.uk @Nattrustarch.bsky.social #LakeDistrict

The steps leading into the strong room under the headquarters building in the west compound at #Corbridge Roman town. The room would have held the soldiers pay and savings. A building inscription of the 6th legion dated AD192-202 was found inside during excavation. #RIB1163
