Tiberius Flavius Postumius Varus is thanked for restoring the Temple of Diana at Caerleon. A pity nobody thought to mention where the temple might be.

A few years ago I had the good fortunate to l handle this Caerwent find, usually displayed at Newport Museum, when it returned 'home' on a day trip for a S4C TV programme. Celtic? British? Romano-British?

Enjoyed a week in London, staying not far from The Lord Tredegar pub in Bow. Interesting to see that they have the three castles of Hywel ab Iorwerth of Caerleon (a probable ancestor of the Morgans of Tredegar House) as part of the window display. #thelordtredegar #bow #caerleon #tredegarhouse
