Great visit to the Jewry Wall museum of life in Roman Leicester (Ratae). @JewryWallRoman

Fantastic interactive audio-visual displays. Expert guides available. Really brings the ruins to life.

The ‘Shell Mosaic’ from Fishbourne Roman Palace in West Sussex. Dating from the mid-third century AD, the mosaic depicts two scallop shells either side of the central panel. #MosaicMonday #RomanBritain 📸 My own.

Went for a walk at Halnaker yesterday. A lot of the leaves had fallen but it was still beautiful. I actually reduced the saturation on these - it looked almost unreal. We arrived just after the sun rose. Gorgeous morning. #Halnaker #RomanRoad #StaneStreet #Sussex #Kinsey

Hope you have a great Christmas from everyone at @villa_north We have had over 1,500 visitors this year, a record. 2024 will hopefully see some exciting renovations. This is an open site so it makes a great visit throughout the holiday period.

We see a lot of fragmentary Roman roof tile, but near-complete examples like this are few and far between!
This recent find is from a late Roman sunken-featured building (SFB) bordering a small Romano-British trackway in Kent. #FindsFriday #RomanBritain #Archaeology

[Paddy Lambert @PaddyLambert14]

A very delicate penannular brooch (Fowler Type C). Late Iron Age to Early Roman & found alongside some very late Roman Pottery and already regarded an antique (& appreciated) when it went in the ground.
