#RomanSiteSaturday: the public latrines in #Ostia are among the best-preserved #Roman latrines. The benches are made of marble, they run along three walls - no stalls, there was no privacy in toilets in Roman times.

St. Melangell, tucked into the Berwyn Mountains in Powys, Wales sits within an older circular churchyard of ancient origin. Some of the yew trees there are 2000 years old.

Don’t forget that tomorrow (31st January) is St Wilgils’ Day. Wilgils of #Ripon (also known as Wilgisl and Hilgis) was a C7th saint and hermit of Anglo-Saxon England and father of St Willibrord. How will you be celebrating?

Nice image I saw floating around aimlessly on FB
'Checkpoint at limes' the artist is J. Goetze.
'Limes' being a frontier or 'limit' the kit worn by the Roman soldiers, mostly the officer's helmet indicates this is in the 3rd century C.E. and that they could be equites of auxilia
