The remains of the Roman amphitheater at Chester. The amphitheater could sit around 7000 spectators and was the largest in Britain. Only two fifths of the site are currently visible. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #RomanBritain #Chester

A Roman wooden sandal used in a bath house to keep the wear's feet dry and not too hot. This was found in the military fort of Vindolanda in northern England, close to Hadrian's Wall.

For this #MosaicMonday, something simple, effective - and, perhaps surprisingly, very unusual. A leafy detail from the mosaic found in Olga Road, Dorchester, now in the Victorian Hall of the excellent Dorset Museum & Art Gallery.

A #MosaicMonday peacock in honour of Juno and the month named for her. She was the goddess of marriage, childbirth and fertility. Peacocks were sacred to her and drew her chariot. Peacock, Detail of Mosaic - 4th century CE., Bardo Museum, Tunis

#MosaicMonday - A heavily restored central medallion of a Roman mosaic depicting Bellerophon mounted on Pegasus slaying the Chimera. This large medallion was the emblema of a 110 m² mosaic and certainly decorated the reception hall of an aristocratic residence in Augustodunum.
