The Basilica of Constantine in Trier, Germany. Built in the early 4th century, the building was part of a larger palace complex, and served as Constantine’s throne room. The building now serves as the Protestant Church of the Redeemer. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #Trier

Located in Caddam Wood just outside Kirriemuir in Scotland, this forest track has been identified as a Roman road. If it is, it would be the most northerly stretch of Roman road in the entire world. #RomanSiteSaturday
A grassy and muddy forest track with tall trees on either side.

The amazing Roman pharos (lighthouse) at Dover, still standing after almost 2,000 years! The tallest surviving Roman structure in Britain and one of only three surviving lighthouses from the former Roman Empire. 1st-2nd century AD. 📷 by me #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology
My photo shows the ruins of an eight-sided Roman brick lighthouse with four stepped levels. There is a doorway at ground level and narrow rectangular window openings above on the upper three levels. It stands 15.8 m high and is 12.2 metres wide at the base. Roman fabric survives to a height of 12.5 m. The brickwork of the uppermost level was reconstructed for use as a church bell tower, for the adjacent Anglo-Saxon church of St Mary in Castro of which a small portion can be seen in my photo. The Pharos is dated 1st century - early 2nd century AD and is one of a pair originally built on the headland flanking each side of the Roman port of Dubris (Dover). It now stands within the grounds of Dover Castle.

Yesterday I visited Corbridge #Roman Town (Coria). Just south of Hadrian’s Wall, it was the most northerly town in the Empire. The smooth flagged floor of the town’s west granary is still looking good after 1,800 years! 🤩 #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology
My photo shows the excavated stone floor of the west granary at Corbridge Roman Town (Roman Coria) stretching away into the distance like a broad, paved walkway. Huge, flat stone slabs rest on short stone walls, creating dark hollow spaces beneath where air once circulated in the ventilated basement to keep the grain which was stored on the floor dry. On either side are the now low, rough stone outer walls and on the left the remains of the outer wall of the east granary. Beyond the Roman ruins, the landscape opens to green trees, rolling hills, and a blue sky, dotted with fluffy white clouds. The east and west granaries were built under emperor Septimius Severus (AD 198-209).

Happy Saturday! Here’s a gorgeous Pompeian wall fresco of a lush garden filled with birds, trees, shrubs, and flowering plants 🌿🌱 🌳 💚 Roman artists bringing the beauty of nature into the home 2,000 years ago! House of the Golden Bracelet, Pompeii. #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology
My photo shows detail from a large Pompeian wall fresco of a lush flower garden from a room in the House of the Golden Bracelet in Pompeii. The scene includes realistic depictions of trees, shrubs, flowering plants, and birds beneath a blue sky. In the foreground is a water fountain; an off-white hemispherical shell-shaped basin on a pedestal stand. There is a sycamore tree behind the water basin with various birds perched on its branches. Perched at top left is a black and white magpie, top right a sparrow, bottom left a white turtledove, bottom right a grey wood pigeon. On the right of the scene, a golden oriole bird with yellow, white, and brown plummage looks out from viburnam bush with white flowers. Some other identifiable plants depicted in the lush garden include oleander, strawberry tree, ivy, and a date palm.

#RomanSiteSaturday! The architectural perfection of Timgad, Algeria, is consistently striking in aerial views. The Colonia Marciana Traiana Thamugadi was founded in 100 AD. Its plan, laid out with great precision, is Roman urban planning at its best. 📷 Georg Steinmetz 🏺 #archaeology
An aerial view of the extensive ruins of a Roman town, showing a well-preserved grid layout with stone foundations, streets, and colonnades. Visible landmarks include a large amphitheater, a central forum surrounded by columns, and monumental arches, all set within a geometric network of buildings and thoroughfares.

The Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain. A spectacular feat of Roman engineering, built to last almost 2,000 years ago without the need for mortar! It supplied water to the town until the 20th century. 📷 by me #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology 🏺
My photo shows a view of the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain. I took the photo from half way up the steps at the side of the structure and looking along its length. It was taken on a fine October morning in 2021. Small figures of people can be seen walking in the street below. Houses across the valley can be seen through the upper arches of the aqueduct.
