Vindolanda Roman Fort | Northern England | 4K

The fort and town of Vindolanda is located near the ancient roman frontier, in the rolling hills of northern England. While there are many ruined forts around the area of Hadrian's wall, this location in particular contains some of the most well preserved roman artifacts found anywhere in the world, including some unique pieces never before discovered. The site is most famous for its hundreds of preserved wooden writing tablets from Roman times, with texts that can still be deciphered.

Fabulous fort with so much archaeological information about ancient Romano British times.

A favourite Roman site. This was the first reconstruction - of a gateway- that my then young son and I visited years ago.
My last visit a few years ago with a sister was amazing. From seeing excavation in progress, a short presentation by a young digger about one portion, the excavation informed reconstruction shops, home, small temple, the gardens, museum and cafe. The light drizzle didnt stop our enjoyment.

Thanks for sharing ! This is the kind of footage I'd like somebody to make years after Time Team has been excavating new sites and university teams have continued digging...

Given the high percentage of German auxilia forces at the fort I think Vindolanda might be a latinized form of Proto-Germanic *Windōgardiz which would actually mean 'The Windy place' or *Windōlandau.

The leather bikini bottom found at Vindolanda could easily be mistaken for a modern outfit, . Very stylish and of course very revealing.

Eat your heart out Trump. That's how you build a wall.
