[@janesmith9056]

Fantastic! It’s so interesting to be able enjoy this talk as I’ll not be able to visit. Thank you.

[@magnoliaweathershield443]

I came to London from Bavaria especially for this exhibition and I loved it

So, at 172 cm that is 5' 7-3/4" to be able to join the Legion.

Excellent

Issue with Aberdeenshire/ NE Scotland (Likely spot of Mons Grapius) is metal doesn't survive well. So maybe could find the site, but highly unlikely. East of Bennachie has a decent case though

[@nunyanunya4147]

thanks for teaching an old freak something new :) i very much enjoy the every day life over 'and he marched against 10000 ov Akaddia's best....' historians nead to know that the STORY is more important than trying to make history into nothing more than a bad action movie.

Corn? No corn in Europe until Columbus brought it back from the western hemisphere circa 1493!

[@magnoliaweathershield443]

'corn' is used to describe the grain most usually grown in the part of world you are discussing. It can refer to wheat, barley or oats, depending on the area and time, as well as maize.

[@jamesleonard2870]

I had the same reaction to the use of corn until I recently learned that it meant especially the local crop =]

[@wpjohn91]

Corn in europe means any grain crop

I was offended by one very important thing. How dare we judge a person from the past with our present ideas? That was exceptionally bad history! 😡

The concubine was willing?

Being in the Army/Military was, and always has been a mostly Horrible, sometimes Adventurist, and Boring Job you endure for meager Benefits/Pay...USMC 70-74

[@ericsanborn2931]

I enjoyed my time. Mostly in retrospect, probably. But, soldiering is human.

[@philiproseel3506]

He’s not a “nice chap” because he wanted a concubine? Over 1,800 years ago? Yes, that’s right. Attach today’s sensibilities to ancient man, that always makes sense.

[@wpjohn91]

I went yesterday and they really did have a axe to grind in many of the displays.

[@illerac84]

Ask the concubine.

[@wpjohn91]

I went yesterday. The signs are terribly small and low down. Blocked then by every one trying to get close in the dark rooms to read. There is no obvious flow or direct and too many people were allowed in. Im sorry but it wqs a bad experiance for me. Who ever planned the layout and displays needs to have a word with them selves. Think about it from the view of of well over 100 people in the room. Also signs not multi lingual. Also poor colour on colour choices. Brown backgrounds with black ink. Amaxing items on display thoroughly dimimineshed by who ever did as said the layout and signage
