so Flavius could you possibly help me with this distinction-if I wish to say "watch out for the Repositorium (buffet/table of many dishes)" as in the sense -"you will be overawed by the scope and quality of same" ,as opposed to -"do not trip over the table leg/slave reaching for food". What is your learned advice?

The harbour Glannaventa (now Ravenglass)
Pertinax commented on Pertinax's gallery image in Everything Else
At the confluence of the Esk,Mite and Irt -a small trading and supply port with the remains of a Bath. -
so -here we are at the actual effective western extremity of Hadrian's Wall-not with a built wall as such but nevertheless part of an intergrated defence structure.

Thank you. I will be away from the Forums for a little while -mainly because of my protracted birthday celebrations, I have just called in to try my hand at posting a few "downsized" pictures in the gallery area (with mixed luck).Audrey Cruse on Roman Medicine will be my next and much fuller review.
