This was my first visit to Maryport, hardly a large place, on the west coast of England south of Hadrian's Wall. But it's certainly a special place, the fort enjoying sweeping views over the Solway estuary. Seeing Roman cavalry riding in the fort for the first time 1,600 years was very evocative. The museum was ecstatic to have 1,000 visitors through their doors to see the displays.

THAT looks pretty damn cool :mrgreen:
More pictures! More, more, more!
Re: Hadrian\'s Wall, the place to be. - John Conyard - 08-11-2009
Yes, images can be very evocative, even beguiling. They bring the past to life and are accessible to all. Yet we give the written word more credence.
I suspect the best photos of the event have yet to be posted. But some can be already viewed at

The watchtower looks very interesting, and the shots of the cavalry on the crest just begs for a photoshop job.....

We could see the Pictish camp fires across the water,I think we need more than their 'watchtower' !

We tried to visualise a court complete with an Imperial Governor, based on the Rossano Gospels.

Yes we can keep a whole troop in the box :lol:
Re: Hadrian\'s Wall, the place to be. - John Conyard - 08-18-2009
The entire cavalry family travel in the box.
Baby, dog, horses, Connolly style saddles, German pad saddles, the more modern Carlisle saddle, Steppe saddle, horse armour, and drinks for the weekend. Everything. It makes packing up so much easier.

Wow, where did you get this from? Is it a Feldon helm?
That looks like Fronto sporting it on the second page?
