Qasr Bshir

[mcbishop]

I normally don't announce Livius webpages, but I think you guys will like this one: the best-preserved fort in the Middle East. There's a good drawing of what it may have looked like in Duncan Campbell's Roman Auxiliary Forts 27 BC - AD 378 (2009).

I am currently staying with Prof Kennedy so now would be an opportune moment to remind people of the APAAME's superb collection of photos on Flickr - currently over 37,000 from Dave Kennedy & Bob Bewley's efforts. Naturally, Bshir features amongst them and you can even find some of mine from the mid 90s on Flickr, when it was less dilapidated, here.
