#RomanFortThursday Near Lockerbie lies #Birrens -Blatobulgium- a Roman fort built cAD80, like Trimontium.

It was a cultural crossroads, with altars to Brigantia & Ricagambeda.

Just 6 miles away #Burnswark Hill— the site of a Roman siege on a native hillfort, likely involving troops from Birrens.⚔️
