3) A replica of the first milestone now stands in its original location beside the 'Queen of Roads', with its inscriptions commemorating restorations of the Via Appia made by the emperors Vespasian in 76 AD and Nerva in 97.

Still one of my fave pictures from my adventures around the Roman World! The tomb of Lollius Urbicus, the Antonine Berber governor of Roman Britain near Tiddis in Algeria. Amazing!

Perhaps the past isn't entirely past...

Indie Book Spotlight In between review books, I’m re-reading Inceptio by Alison Morton. I bought the whole series omnibus, so I’m catching up with book 1 again. It’s excellent. #AlternateHistory

Indie Book Spotlight Alison Morton It’s alternate history. Roma Nova is a small country based on ancient Roman ways of life, but in the 21st century. Inceptio is about a young woman, Karen. Very much a gripping thriller, with a distinctive Roman slant. 😎
