Lovely architectural detailing in that nook. Are these piled in order of interest? If so, I think I largely agree, though I’d probably put the amazing Licoricia a little higher up.

According to the hashtags, Caerleon, Wales. Since he's a member of Legio II Augusta in Caerleon, the date is probably somewhere between CE 75 and CE 196. The legion built the fort there in 75. They stayed 'til defeated by Septimius Severus in 196 after (oops) backing Albinus for emperor.

Shout out to Rena Lauer and Kevin Osterloh at Oregon State. My two favorite rockstar profs.

Oh! I missed seeing the eagle. Thank you! I’ll take a look when I’m back this fall.

PS: I’m not sure if this is what you were after. Apologies if you only wanted figurative spoila.

Lots of spoila at Corbridge’s St. Andrews as well. This arch, for instance.

Roman stone was incorporated into St. Wilfrid’s Crypt at Hexham Abbey. Hexham Abbey proudly displays Flavinus’ memorial stone, though it’s not incorporated into the fabric of the building. havg.org/visitor-guid...

Thomas Hutchinson tried this, too. John Adams had a few things to say about it.

Now might be a good time to swap out the X link in the Atlantic footer for a beautiful blue butterfly.
