Let's start the week with some splendid spolia. This porch was built onto the schoolhouse in Rochester, Northumberland in 1852. Look closely and you will see that is was in fact largely constructed from ancient Roman stones taken from the nearby fort known in ancient times as Bremenium. #spolia

Celebrate #BurnsNight by listening to @romanscotland.bsky.social talk about what Rome got up to in what is now #Scotland. Over two episodes we discuss fortifications, campaigns and a few misconceptions. I also discover a love of fortlets. #ancientrome Episode one sites.libsyn.com/105935/roman...
