Just working my way through your volume on Roman Camps in Scotland. Is there an equivalent work by anyone on the forts/fortresses?

drbecjones.bsky.social•35 days ago

People tend to operate by time period on those (e.g. Flavian), so I can't think of anything that covers all of them. But worth looking at Canmore which is the online database run by Historic Environment Scotland

Its actually Flavian I'm most interested in. Trying to build up a picture of what Roman Scotland looked like at the start of Agricola's last two seasons. I'll need to do some homework! I'm familiar with Canmore and will start there. Thanks!

I guess much of Flavian might post date this?

Trying to tie things specifically to Agricola is challenging but I assume you are familiar with Bill Hanson's Agricola & the conquest of the north and also look at Birgitta Hoffmann's archaeology vs history volume. Both good on the difficulties!

Thanks, no I wasn't familiar, but I soon will be! My reading list just gets longer, haha.

I think I can fit the known camp record to Tacitus, but I guess many people more learned than me have done the same many times already...

You can fit it to Tacitus but we know they were campaigning after Agricola (& indeed before in southern Scotland)
