History students research Roman life

A group of history students and two lecturers took a break from the classroom to visit the Vindolanda Roman site near Hexham.

The site had been occupied from the second century AD to the fifth and entails a large Roman military base and supporting town.

The group were given an informative tour of the site and told that about 150 years’ worth of archaeology remains to be done on it.

After the tour, they visited the Roman museum at Vindolanda and then travelled about seven miles along Hadrian’s Wall to the Roman Military Museum.

This trip was was in conjunction with Dr Kenneth Moore’s module ‘Rome: Foundation, Republic and Empire’.
