They also seem to have used flint axes as expensive firecrackers.<br /><br />I hope that you have had a pleasant Christmas and New Year.

Maybe it would be wise to seek pastures new. Your knowledge of Roman military wall building might be useful in the USA; possibly in a profitable advisory position if the President ever gets his generals to obey his order to build a wall! Less facetiously, the Americans seem to like 'genuine reconstructions', and a section of Hadrian's Wall in an American desert could give many of them better information at less expense than visiting the original. <br /><br />While you were sick, there was a TV programme featuring aerial views of the wall. It would not have improved your health to hear the vallum described as 'an additional defence'. Accept that long after you are dead the media and academia will still be purveying misconceptions. However, it may also be true that 'science progresses one funeral at a time' and that the best revenge may be a long and active life influencing fresh minds elsewhere. <br /><br />Odin's Ravennoreply@blogger.com
