You might enjoy a look at this link if you haven't been there.
The best thing, I thought, were the letters of the Roman Soldiers back home to their Mum's asking them to send warm socks.......it must have seemed like Siberia to them.
I also have a few of OH and me at Pmpeii. We were very privilidged because we went at the end of a cool and wet day and got the site to ourselves almost.
I'll post them on here if any of you haven't seen Pompeii and would be interested. Just let me know, otherwise I wont inflict them as we are not the best photographers in the World, in fact we are probably the worst.:O |
Somewhere I have a ref to a site that, working on reconstructions of roman towns in the uk, has 3 D digitilazied them and you can walk through the streets and go into the shops and buildings !! Spooky !
Got the time later today and will dig it out ( if it is on the bit of my database that I have so far !!!
)
