caldrail Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Click here for a list of the inscriptions found along Hadrian's wall. If you trawl through them, you may be surprised at just how (dare I say the most condescending statement ever!) 'multi-cultured' they were on the wall. I cannot seem to find it, but I seem to remember there being a very well preserved tombstone of a North Africa auxiliary. The tombstone does appear to promote the idea of multiculturalism among the British frontier because, as well as being written in Latin, Aramaic test is also given so that his Syrian sweetheart can also read it. So a North African, unofficially married to a Syrian woman, both living in Britain; and people thought foreigners in the UK was a new thing. I think this may be the tombstone. There is evidence of a chort of moors stationed on the Wall. I'll try to dig up the reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
