guy Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) The Roman fort at Magna, mostly unexcavated, will be more closely evaluated as concerns for climactic impact mounts: Quote “The fort of Magna, unlike nearby Vindolanda, has never been subjected to a sustained research excavation but recent geoarchaeological survey work has proved beyond doubt that Magna has some of, if not the richest, environmental deposits thus far identified from the world heritage site.” Magna was home to two of the most exotic Roman regiments to have served in Roman Britain— the Syrian archers and the Dalmatian Mountain soldiers. “It is a dramatic place with views 50 miles to the west and the Solway Firth, Alston Moor and the crags of Hadrian’s Wall,” said Dr Birley. Its adjacent civilian settlement was also bigger that that at Vindolanda. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/huge-roman-fort-excavated-lottery-25738260 Edited December 13, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
