Viggen Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Archaeologists from Newcastle University (UK) are hoping to excavate an internationally important Roman site in Cumbria.Led by Professor Ian Haynes, the team is focusing its attention on the site of a major discovery of Roman altars 140 years ago.The site where the altars were found now forms part of the Roman Maryport site at Camp Farm, which is owned by Hadrian's Wall Heritage.

GhostOfClayton Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I can thoroughly recomend a visit to the Roman Museum at Maryport (which will be located next to the dig). Their sizeable collection of alters are in almost suspiciously good nick, especially considering they're sandstone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
