Hello @cg256y9. What do you do for your vacation? Coming to Vindolanda is very straightforward and the site is absolutely amazing. The site itself is totally accessible - you are literally treading in the shoes of the roman legionnaires. The Museum on site and the Roman army Museum just down the road have amazing artifacts. Hop on a plane, take the train, book a stay at one of the lovely local pubs. rent a car and you will have the best experience of your life. Given you are keen enough to watch this video and make a comment. We love respectful visitors from the USA with an interest in history. If you have a few days to spare visit Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Hampton Court and the |Tower of London, plus the hundreds of late Norman castles scattered along the English/Welsh borders.

I don't understand why every time Roman artifacts are found in Scottish/Pictish settlements the assumption is made that they may have been trading. Could this not have been acquired by intercepting supplies, raiding Roman settlements, or taken from the body of a defeated enemy? I would imagine a trophy taken from the enemy would be valued and envied. On the other hand, I could imagine Romans trading products of their superior technology/workmanship to show the savages the benefits of submitting to Rome.

They were probably damaged in some way which is now no longer visible. Most Roman equipment left behind at sites appears to have suffered damage and to be in need of repairs. The blades and tangs of the swords looked good, so i would guess that the handle assemblages had disintegrated and they were waiting to be rehandled when the decision was made to pack up and abandon the site. If they had not been repaired and were not serviceable at the point when the carts were being packed they would be buried - to be retrieved if the unit returned and if not, denied to an enemies who might occupy the site. The same would apply to the collection of broken equipment which was buried in the chest at Corbridge. Broken kit is nothing but extra weight to carry and takes up space needed for other things when space is limited.

How did such a complex and all the items be untouched after abandonment? You can't leave a house for a week until it's vandalized and for many years after it continues to be discernible thus inviting even more visitors. So how did the Roman sites lay undisturbed that even swords were still there and not quarried for all that could be re-used?

Nice job! For sure going to go before a trip! Curious why tho you don’t tweeze or wax? Since a tweezed or waxed hair grows back tapered, since it’s pulled at the root, and a new hair is tapered. And shaved hair as well as chemical removal( deppilatories) removes the hair at the surface, which is in the middle of the hair which is thick. Then you have them all growing back at the same time. Thick so i wonder how often you need to shave as opposed to randomly tweezing. Hmmm. I do know it’s hard to wax those tiny hairs especially on oily skin. Hmmmm. Where is this product made? Any idea? I want stuff that’s not full of chemicals

Broken equipment was often buried during the abandonment of roman forts. In all probability the handle assemblages on the swords had disintegrated and they were awaiting repair, much like all the spearheads with the broken ends of shafts still in them and a sawblade missing its handle which were found in the remains of the chest found buried at Corbridge in 1964. When you are in situ you have places where you can keep equipment awaiting repair, but when you need to move, broken equipment which has not been repaired yet is just dead weight to carry and takes up space in carts which is needed for other things. The normal Roman solution to this problem was the bury the unrepaired equipment, in order to be retrieved if the same unit returned to the same site, but otherwise hidden from the eyes of enemies who might come across the abandoned site. It is probably for this reason that most surviving Roman Equipment appears to be damaged in some way or other, and is definitely the reason that the Romans buried an estimated ten million nails in a number of large pits when they dismantled the fort at Inchtuthil in the early second century AD.

@@Crispvs1 The first blade was found intact in it's scabbard, in a living quarters. The second one looks like it was also in a room, as the excavator mentions both swords were found in the same condition. Even a broken blade would've been valuable to the British rebels, that's why I suspect they must've been covered before the rebels could scour through the abandoned fort.

Almost certainly deliberately buried under the floor during preparation for abandonment of the fort. The swords were probably damaged in some way we can't see (the handle assemblages had probably disintegrated) and as they had not yet been repaired they would just be dead weight to a unit moving out and would have taken up space in baggage carts which was needed for other things. So they were buried to deny them to an enemy who might visit the site after it was abandoned.

I have some ancient treasures that I intend to smuggle to England. When I get there with them, I'll rent a car and head to a remote location. After driving a few hours, when I find myself in a place far from any city, town or village, I will stop the car on the highway. At night I will go into the woods to bury the ancient treasures (ancient Roman and Greek coins from different centuries and a chipped stone ax made by Brazilian Indians) and I will bury everything with care as if it were an offering to a deity. Local stones will be used to completely line the bottom and sides of the small hole in the earth. Then I will return to Brazil with one certainty: in the future, all of this will be discovered by an amateur and will cause a great debate among English historians, archaeologists and anthropologists. They will be very intrigued to find objects from such different periods buried in the same location, apparently far from any excavated human settlements. And I'm sure no one will remember that I wrote my plan here, because there is no better way to hide a plan like this by revealing it on the Internet because no one really pays attention to comments made on videos like this.

There was 17 large forts and 80 smaller ones along the wall, one at every Roman mile, known as mile castles. It’s at these smaller ones they had gates opening through the wall to allow goods, besides soldiers, to access north. Each mile castle had 6-8 soldiers lodging in it and it is said they collected tax’s here from traders going north and south. I live only an hours drive away and have visited the wall and forts many times over the years, including many sites south of the wall. Binchester, in Bishop Auckland, has a wonderfully preserved Roman bathhouse that has childrens ( slaves ? ) footprints in the concrete of the foundations from when it was being built and a stretch of Roman road you can walk on.

What she says about the relationship between the Picts & the Romans was out of date decades ago. We already know the Romans were 'soft investing' with the Picts .

I've come to doubt the claims that entire countries or regions "became Christian" as a result of Christian missionaries, however famous. What likely happened is a few "leaders, kings, members of the elites" adopted the cult out of curiosity or politics. How much do we know about the relationships between leaders and people? Would leaders have expected the people they governed to accept a religion at their command? Imagine if missionaries of an unknown religion were to come to any country or region now.

Sorry, but the Romans didn't refer to the Barbarians as savages, nor did 'barbarian' have the negative connotation associated with the term today. This idea of barbarians as savages is a modern concept, based on much later ideas of the 'uncivilised' natives of the New World & sub Saharan Africa. In fact for the Romans 'Barbarian' meant uncorrupted people, not spoilt by the decadence of the world of baths & city politics. They were admired for their rugged manliness. virility, & 'natural' society, in contrast to the venality of the supposed elite class of Roman gentry, Senators etc, who had allowed themselves to be overawed by a series of tyrant Emperors, such as Nero & Domitian. The only real criticism of the Barbarians was to do with the apparent disorganised, unsophisticated, political arrangements, sometimes seen as dependant upon bloodthirsty priesthoods, & their 'habits' of unreliability when in alliances with Rome. The other weakness expressed by Tacitus for instance, was their vulnerability to the lur of the pleasures of the Roman life style, baths & wine etc, which could quite quickly undermine their natural, 'authentic' existence, making them soft like the people of the Mediterranean.

So the archaeologists on Iona had a bad dig so they through all their rubbish in the trench. 😐. Worse than little bugs. 😠.

I'm surprised the Romans don't get angry at diggers messing about in their homes. I know I got mad when some nosey diggers were fooling about in my kitchen.

Archeology is a SCIENCE, dedicated to uncovering history. Maybe we can learn to stop wars. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Being proven currently here in the US where many actually think they want a dictator here!

The fossilisation of Britain has become an industry, vast amounts of resources have been tipped into this process and to little invested in the future. Its time to look to the future and stop revisiting the past, which has been deciphered by far better historians and archaeologists than these groups and individuals. All of this was well known and was well understood decades ago.

Around 85 AD was first garrison there, Coh. I Tungrorum and become part of Hadrian wall fortification after 120 AD. So your problem it's that are like 1940 years old and not exactly 2000yrs?!
