Coming soon...another adventure in Roman Scotland! This time I travel along a Roman road from the Borders to up Perthshire and beyond, searching for evidence of the Agricolan invasion and the elusive site of Scotland's first recorded battle. #RomanSiteSaturday Tippermuir Books

Great to see the master at work today at Vindolanda Trust as Graham Taylor demonstrated throwing roman pottery, you can also meet the post excavation team and see them remove the dirt from pottery fragments revealing their secrets #HadriansWall #Archaeology

When not hosting a #party it is likely that a single coach and chairs in another room were used. Triclinium was used for entering guests in lavish #dinner parties. #Plutarch observed when a rich man dines alone or with #family, he put away the fancy stuff. #RomanSiteSaturday

One of the most exciting (and challenging) parts of putting together my forthcoming book 'The Road to Mons Graupius' was creating the illustrations. Here is a preview of one of them, my watercolour of the Antonine Wall at Watling Lodge #RomanSiteSaturday
