For #MuseumsUnlocked Day 81, we'd like to take you on a tour of the Tropaeum Traiani, a #Roman military tropaeum located in our backyard in south-eastern #Romania 🇷🇴

Why is a Roman monument relevant for @MuseumsUnlocked's #Communism day, you ask? (1/x)

Why should we study Roman frontiers?

In the 1st issue of #TRAJ, David Breeze discussed why the study of #RomanFrontiers is essential for understanding the Empire as a whole & how the Romans related with other peoples.

[Dr Emily Hanscam @emilyhanscam]

The Open Access Theoretical Roman Archaeology Journal (#TRAJ) was founded to encourage a broader array of voices publishing critical approaches to #RomanArchaeology. This is due in no small part to the efforts of @LisaLodwick, who has left us far too soon. (1/2)

For my last full day in #Rome and #EpigraphyTuesday, an inscription noting the expansion of the pomerium by Claudius. Currently attached to a wall along Via del Pellegrino after being found nearby.
