GhostOfClayton Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 BTW I believe that the original intention, so far as the reconstructed turf wall is concerned, was to leave it to collapse naturally allowing the process to be recorded and so given a basic time-line for this happening in practice. This may explain sections now being cordoned off by metal barriers as seems to be the case in GOCs photograph. I think rabbits may be b*ggering up that experiment somewhat. The turf wall at Vinolanda was said to have lost half a metre in height in 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domitia Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'll admit that I have not read the book (but am planning to do so once half-term from uni starts). I found the unexplained rescuing of Ecta to be the most unbelievable part, but what I tend to do with films that are shown to be set in a historical time period is to take a step back, and watch it for the entertainment it is intended to be rather than as something 100% accurate - if I wanted that, I'd watch a documentary.
