guy Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Trimontium is a Roman fort located in Newstead, Scotland, approximately sixty miles north of Hadrian's Wall. New ground-penetrating radar technology is being employed to better map the fort complex. This could lead to new discoveries and insights into life at the fort. Background information (also see Gordon Doherty’s video below): Trimontium was a Roman fort located at Newstead, near Melrose in the Borders region of Scotland, situated close to the three Eildon Hills (from which the name "trium montium" derives). The geographer Ptolemy identified the fort in his writings. The Romans occupied Trimontium intermittently from 80 to 211 AD. At the peak of Roman occupation, approximately 1,500 soldiers and a civilian population of similar size inhabited the settlement. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-60602352 https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Trimontium_(Newstead) Edited October 16 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
