The Roman Aqueduct-Bridge of Pont d'Ael in the Aosta Valley, north western Italy. The bridge was constructed in 3 BC to supply water to Augusta Praetoria (modern day Aosta) - a colony founded by Augustus in 25 BC. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday

A new AI tool developed to fill in the blanks on partial #Roman inscriptions - used properly this could be great for the field, but I hope it doesn't mean that we stop exploring the inscriptions ourselves... theguardian.com/science/2025/j…

Lilia pits at Rough Castle Roman Fort on the Antonine Wall, near Bonnybridge in central Scotland. The pits were a defensive measure (each pit contained a sharpened stake) that would have helped defend the northern approach to the fort. 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday

A Roman amulet, created from a small trilobite fossil, was unearthed at the Roman-era site of A Cibdá de Armea in Spain. Analysis shows it had been purposefully modified for likely use as a pendant (or bracelet) or was placed on a domestic altar as an offering.
