Nothing to see here, just a man in love with a carnyx, intending to spend the rest of the afternoon blocking other people from seeing its beauty. The one…the only…Deskford carnyx and stunning reproduction of it in its prime, scaring Romans. #FindsFriday National Museum of Scotland

Me, looking a bit lovelorn, in front of the partially surviving head of a carnyx, a a full sized shiny reproduction

It's #RomanFortThursday and as the summer ends so do most excavations. This pic is of excavating at floor inside Vindolanda in 2013, when it was scorching and baked hard. You can read more about the civilians living at Vindolanda in my new book www.amberley-books.com/discover-boo...

Stones emerge from dusty dry beige dirt. Some are obviously worked, oblong shapes lying in parallel lines. Some look more like rubble.

There are loads of Scottish Roman forts in my book The Road to Mons Graupius, from Trimontium in the Borders to Stracathro, the most northerly Roman fort in the world. You can buy it direct from the publisher at a discounted price here: tippermuirbooks.co.uk/product/the-... #RomanFortThursday

Blown away by Fishbourne Roman Palace. Knew it was impressive but hadn't quite appreciated how much survives (and how much remains buried). Well worth a visit. Thanks @romanpalace.bsky.social

The ‘Jewel of Antiquity’ - a stone fragment from Balmuildy Roman Fort that names Urbicus as Governor of Britain, and in doing so identifies and dates the Antonine Wall. Part of the collections at the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow 📸 My own #EpigraphyTuesday #RomanScotland

Working on the new book while heading to the wonderful @romanpalace.bsky.social somewhere I've always wanted to go. Expect lots of Roman pics as I'm also looking at things in Chichester later. Very excited but need to do a bit more editing first

Sat at the station and an air raid siren goes off. 😦 seven minutes later and I'm still here so can't have been an emergebcy. Forget that we're close to a military base sometimes.

Honestly, this is madness and a waste of so much talent. Imagine if companies put this much time and effort into unsuccessful tenders. If universities want to think like companies, they need to start acting like them and be far more strategic with their employees time.

After almost ten years it's time to say goodbye to my beloved iMac. We've done a PhD together, written eight books, and processed many, many gigs of data. Never thought it would end but it's time to switch over to a MacBook Air. Farewell old pal.

Roman clay hot water bottles in the shape of human body parts used for therapeutic purposes some 2,000 years ago! Found in a building which may have been a healing centre. Paphos Archaeological Museum, Cyprus 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a museum display at Paphos Archaeological Museum of ancient Roman red clay vessels shaped like human body parts each of which has a spout with a handle either side, allowing it to be filled with hot water or oil. The clay walls of the vessels are only 3 mm thick so that heat would be conducted to the body. They are comparable in size to the corresponding human parts of the body including ears, torso, groin, hands, thigh, knee, shin, and feet. They are mounted for the display over a simple outline of a human figure, illustrating their possible therapeutic use around 2,000 years ago.

How come we can take away British citizenship from children but we don't do the same for 66 year old women who fraternise with dodgy convicts 🤔

The 12th cent Brough castle was built into the platform of Verteris Roman fort which guarded the Stainmore pass from the late 1st Century AD. The location of Maiden castle fortlet sits above the modern A66 with a good line of sight #RomanBritain

Awful news about Prof Arday. Whatever he had or hadn’t done, he didn’t deserve the hounding he got from certain non-tabloid papers. With against actual war crimes and the conduct of plenty of politicians going on at the moment, his alleged behaviours were insignificant.

The remains of the bathhouse at Bar Hill Roman Fort on the Antonine Wall, near Twechar in East Dunbartonshire. The fort is the highest of the 16 known forts on the wall. 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday #RomanScotland #BarHill

Just got back from an 8 day rampage around Germany & the Benelux countries 🇩🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺🇧🇪 & hence a very good day for #RomanFortThursday as much of our time was spent chasing Roman fortifications along the Limes Germanicus so why not a short thread on the absolutely wonderful Saalburg! 🧵👇

Exceptionally low water levels on the Danube have exposed parts of the foundations of the ancient Constantine Bridge, giving archaeologists a rare opportunity ‌to document what they describe as one of the Roman Empire's most impressive engineering achievements. www.reuters.com/business/env...
