How do you get to the troublesome province of Britannia, and who awaits you if you dare? What do you pack? What will you eat? And what on earth will you do, stuck at the very edge of empire, on Rome's northwestern frontier? Paperback out March 2022
ALT Cover of the paperback edition of 'Journey to Britannia' by Bronwen Riley, available March 2022
Our exhibition has continued its journey through the province of Britannia and just arrived in Londinium where it opens tomorrow @RCILondon

These tapestry fragments excavated in the 1970s at Attar Caves in Iraq are a great reminder that 'Coptic textiles' in Egypt are just the tip of the iceberg of what once existed all over the Roman Empire and its periphery. [Photos from iraq.emb-japan.go.jp/files/0…]

Thank you so much @laurapopescumfa for making the journey to #hadrianswall to open ‘Voices from the Wall’.
Delighted to open "Voices from the Wall. Dacians on Hadrian's Wall" today at Carlisle Cathedral and talk about the millenary bridge build by our ancestors, so reinforced now. Congrats to @BronwenRiley for this remarkable project, along with @RCILondon and all the team involved!
I think we must visit different archives!

A #Roman glass dish, with a chequerboard design in red, blue, & white. It was probably made in Egypt around 2000 years ago, but was likely found in northern Italy #Archaeology #AncientGlass

We have secured listing for a Norman Evill house in Stanwix, #carlisle . Barn Close is an outstanding 1902 #ArtsandCrafts house. It was designed by Evill in close collaboration with its original occupiers Edwin and Maud Scott-Nicholson. #listedbuilding #architecture #NorthWest

They found rare 10th century glass cups but is there any sign of all that Myrrhine ware Pliny the elder says he stashed there? The Barber cup pictured here @britishmuseum is one of only two Myrrhine or fluorspar vessels known to survive intact from antiquity.
This #RomanDay @aksschool in lovely Lytham, Lancashire looks like fun - @lsaclassics always organise such great events!

Detail from the 6th century Bromeswell Bucket which was found near Sutton Hoo. The bucket carries hunting scenes and a Greek inscription, and was made in the eastern Mediterranean. Now part of the collections @NT_SuttonHoo #FindsFriday 📷 My own
St Peter's Church, just outside Novi Pazar, Serbia, thought to be of 4th-century foundation. An incredible treasure from a 'princely tomb' of the 6-5th century BC was discovered here in the 1950s. It included #TombTuesday #archaeology
