    Great photos, Lacertus. I have always wanted to visit Russia, but have never gotten round to it.

    Hadrian's Wall Eastern extremity
    Was Corbridge a Legionary fortress, as the map suggests?

    Just a short word to recommend the excellent 'Google Earth' site my stepson recently introduced to me. Basically, one can zoom into any spot on earth and download the resulting image. I have compiled an album in the gallery section of the most visible Roman sites from the air, Amphitheatres, theatres and Hippodromes. I find it heartwarming to see that many of these structures appear to be utilised even now. Its immense fun panning round the Meditteranean world, zooming in on cities and spotting these sites. I'm sure I havent got them all yet...!

    Possible amphitheatre, Iraklion, Crete
    I can't make up my mind wether this is a modern building or an amphitheatre - I have not heard of an amphitheatre at Iraklion, but this looks suspiciously like one...

    Amphitheatre, Pozzuoli, Naples.
    This is a shot of the excellent amphitheatre at Pozzuoli, near Naples and about half an hours drive from Pompeii. This litle gem of aa site is often missed by tourists.

    I am lucky enough to have visited Pozzuoli, near Napoli. It is here that the Romans are said to have invented concrete. Cracking amphitheatre there, by the way! (See gallery)

    Back in the early '50's, Mortimer Wheeler wrote a small book called 'Rome Beyond the Frontiers'. He makes reference to Roman ports and trading centres in India and on the Baltic coast. I have not found any subsequent work which backs this up, however.
