Life in Luguvalium


The continuing excavations at the very productive Cricket club site in Carlisle - Luguvalium to the Romans - continues to yield a rich haul of Roman artefacts. The most recent - including a military diploma or discharge plaque -  are indicated in a report from BBC News at Finding personal Roman items in Carlisle a 'real connection'

Wikipedia gives a useful introduction to the Roman city - the furthermost in the Empire in the north-west, and almost at the end of Hadrian’s Wall  - at Luguvalium
