This #Roman #gravestone comes from #Ardoch Roman Fort, Scotland. Dating to AD80-100, it reads "To the spirits of the departed Ammonius, son of Damio, #centurion of the First Cohort of Spaniards, of 27 years service. His heirs had this erected". #Hunterian Museum Collection.

#Ardoch #Roman Fort in the snow - This large Roman fort is near Braco in Perthshire, #Scotland & is one of the most complete Roman forts in the UK with some of the best preserved Roman earthworks in Europe. It dates back to the campaign of #Agricola in Scotland in the 80s AD

The impressive heather and grass-covered rampart and multiple banks and ditches outside the east gate under a sunny and cloudy sky. In the distance a line of trees and beyond them, very faintly, distant low hills.

The five ditches outside the east gate of #Ardoch #Roman Fort north of Stirling, result of successive reductions in size of previous forts: 1st Flavian (AD80s) then up to 3 Antonine forts (AD140/50s). The southern “anchor” of the Gask Ridge Frontier, is it the best site (5-stars) in #RomanScotland?
