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. πŸ“· 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.

#RomanSiteSaturday 🏺 Tuscan Volterra reveals ++centuries of occupation: here C1 BC #Roman theatre cut into side of high hill + 3rd C bath complex built when theatre out of use. Discovered 1950s, theatre featured stunning views, 16m high stage, statues of Augustus+Livia, + seats w local family names.
View from top of hill overlooking Roman theatre and later baths. Discovered 1950s, excavated and rebuilt in 1970s. Now full arena and entries to underground passages are visible, with lower understage sections of the theatre and a rebuilt section to the left with columns defining niches that once held statues. Beyond the theatre is a large colonnaded area which was once part of the theatre complex, where the bath complex was built much later. The arena and other areas are mostly covered in grass.
A view from the north, behind the theatre's stage area back towards the seating arena. Stone foundations of the bath complex are seen within a colonnaded area. Nearest the viewer are the caldarium, tepidarium and laconicum, all with evidence of underfloor hypocaust heating system with furnaces. Beyond both baths and theatre, buildings can be seen high above over the city walls.

#RomanSiteSaturday! A section of the #Roman Eifel #aqueduct that supplied water to the city of Cologne. The vaulted underground tunnel with an inspection shaft at Mechernich-Breitenbenden was unearthed during construction work in the late 1970s. The estimated maximum flow rate of the aqueduct...🧡1/2

For #RomanSiteSaturday let's go to Leptis Magna on the coast of Libya. It's one of the best preserved Roman cities. The city was founded in the 7th c. BC by the Phoenicians. In Roman times it became one of the most important cities of North Africa and a major trading post.🧡1/2 πŸ“·Georg Steinmetz

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 🌿🌱 🌳 πŸ’š 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.
