guy Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Here is a follow-up on the recent dig at the Carlisle Roman site . Quote “The most recent 'community dig' at the Carlisle site, adjacent to Eden Bridge, is helping historians to piece together a more vivid and accurate picture of life in Roman Carlisle - largely through the hundreds of newly discovered artefacts, including coins, jewellery, and weapon parts. Among the most significant discoveries are the remnants of a huge and opulent bath-house, measuring an impressive 60m by 40m.Historians say it was a social hub for the elite Ala Petriana cavalry soldiers.” ”An inscribed stone tablet found at the site bears an inscription, a fulsome tribute to either the Syrian Roman Empress Julia Domna, or possibly to later Syrian princess, Julia Mamaea, mother of the Roman Emperor Severus Alexander.” https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/20023185.frontier-town---dig-uncovers-secrets-edge-empire/ Here is a previous thread on the work at Carlisle: Edited March 30, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
