Fighting on the Frontier (Drumlanrig, Dumfries and Galloway) | Series 12 Episode 4 | Time Team

[@g1stylempdesign929]

It may seem superficial and silly but to me, the Time Team intro song resounds with the optimism of human introspection, selfless curiosity, the melancholy tones of the passing of time that brings each young person, subsequent generation closer to becoming history than they could imagine in the vitality of life. Me just

[@Nina-9a]

I love the intro music.

[@mariecarie1]

The "contentions" between Tony, Phil, Stuart and the others is just delightful. It does pique your interest into how the dig will go, but you can tell it's a bunch of friends ribbing each other and who actually respect each other. A much better way to keep attention than big music, dramatized, overblown disagreements and loud sting sound effects.

[@sirdavidoftor3413]

Exactly. While I very much enjoy all the historical information given by Time Team, the little jabs and quips at each other provides a little “ brain break” to digest the information. I also enjoy the recreation of what it might have looked like so many centuries ago. Stay safe, stay sane, be well

[@lucywarner139]

This show is unique in that there is no "plot" and no "characters." The only "action" is what occurs on the dig. The people are just themselves doing a fascinating task, and from the first time I saw it I was hooked. It isn't my first time dealing with artifacts, but the sensation of holding a tool in my hand that was used by someone thousands of years ago remains a thrill. It's really like shaking hands with them. This show adds more information than I can get from a collection of Native American arrowheads as the specialists like Helen Geake and Phil give comments. Watching Phil, on another show, turn a chunk of stone into a hand axe in a few minutes time is amazing, then he butchered a chunk of pork with one of the flakes into chops, which they ate for supper. How could anyone not be interested in that?

At the 18:33 minute, those 2 great friends, Tony and Mick leaning on the front of the car, 2 white plastic cups for their coffee break, and Mick saying 'The origin of us coming here, is to evaluate what it is...... I'd be happy when someone says....." suggesting a dig in several more spots, in that typically British roundabout way with words, with that dark grey sky in the background, and these two men in the bright light of day reminds of that typical atmosphere in Scotland, weatherwise. That picture is one to be remembered, fit for placing in a frame, don't you think? These episodes are truly full of gems, even when no finds are showing up that are revealing much. The Time Team spirits are high, at least, in the moments shown on camera 😉

@@malchir4036 a fort up in that part of what is now Scotland would have certainly been in the vacinity of enemies. The title of the episode is 'Fighting on the Frontier' after all.

[@sarahwatts7152]

At the 24 minute mark, they talk about how the fort was likely never attacked because the Scots preferred guerilla warfare, and how building the fort kept soldiers occupied. But wouldn't the fort have provided a safe haven from otherwise constant guerilla attacks? That the fort was never besieged doesn't necessarily mean it never had a military purpose: it means that you get well rested soldiers who don't have to worry about Scots picking them off in their sleep. You get the safe haven plus the intimidation of the Romans taking over the landscape in such a conspicuous way.

[@TommyGlint]

I thought exactly the same thing. An open camp, even one with just a palisade, would invite just that; hit-and-run attacks. A minor thing, but it would also put a strain on a relatively small garrison regarding guard duty.

[@GoldieGoldillo]

The Dacian Draco was the standard ensign of troops of the ancient Dacian people, which can be seen in the hands of the soldiers of Decebalus in several scenes depicted on Trajan's Column in Rome, Italy. It has the form of a dragon with open wolf-like jaws containing several metal tongues. The hollow dragon's head was mounted on a pole with a fabric tube affixed at the rear. In use, the draco was held up into the wind, or above the head of a horseman, where it filled with air and gave the impression it was alive while making a shrill sound as the wind passed through its strips of material. It's Dacian not Roman! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacian_Draco

[@Rocsanna]

I came to the comments to say the same thing, you could even see it in the depiction on the column that the solduer holding it was not Roman. But the site was around Trajan's time, so maybe he thought it effective and pinched the idea from the Dacians.

Could the Dragon standard have been a carnyx? Would explain the dragon head and the fact that it made noise used to scare or intimidate enemies. Carnyx were originally a Celtic instrument, but there are depictions of them from around 300BC until the fall of Roman Empire (476AD).

[@tonyslabu6373]

I know it's a year later but the Draco were a scythian-dacian standard not celtic, at least to the dacians it most likely was the shape of a wolf since the wolf was such a big part of their religion and culture, and the Romans started using the Draco after the end of the 2nd Roman Dacian war and the conquer of Dacia (which were not celtic people but thracian)

[@kathywolf4558]

And what about the carnyx? Celts had carnyx and they have been found in Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Romania respectively. It is possible the Romans had a similar thing that was actually played..blown into to make "fierce" noises.....??????? The ones that have been found, no one really knows how they did sound originally. Modern ones have an interesting tone.
