Lost secrets of Roman legionaries uncovered at Hadrian's Wall

A layer of black anaerobic soil at a site near Hadrian's Wall led archaeologists to find military and personal possessions left behind by cavalry men and their families 2,000 years ago.

Lost secrets of Roman legionaries uncovered at Hadrian’s Wall

When archaeologists lifted up a piece of concrete floor at a site near Hadrian’s Wall, they never expected to discover one of the earliest Roman cavalry barracks and a treasure-trove of artifacts in a remarkable state of preservation.

A layer of black, sweet-smelling anaerobic soil led them to unearth eight rooms with stables for horses and living accommodation filled with extraordinary military and personal possessions left behind by cavalry men and their families 2,000 years ago.

Roman cavalry swords are extremely rare anywhere, but two were lying on the barrack floor.

There are also two wooden swords – one with a gemstone decorating its pommel – which were clearly made as toys for the cavalry children.

Roman Shoes at the fort of Vindolanda, near Hadrian’s Wall, 24.2.18.

421 shoes were found during excavations of the Roman fort of Vindolanda, near Hadrian’s Wall. They were made for men, women and children and reflect a range of styles and influences from across the Empire. The conditions of the soil and the deep level of excavation preserved the leather and materials very well. However, the fourth image is the only complete pair of shoes found at the site.

Rare Roman 'horseshoes' unearthed

The shoes, known as hipposandals, were found by a volunteer at Vindolanda.

Vindolanda - the site that SERIOUSLY keeps on giving. What an incredible find, but really, a large percentage of the finds from this site are incredible. I had no idea Roman horses wore this kind of shoe.

Some Roman cavalry horses! The more realistic versions are on my main, @crown-and-stallion. Trying to make them into some sticker designs (more designs on my redbubble!)
