Hi Folks! I made a small film about our latest experiment (German).
Have fun! :-)

A couple of questions if I may? (and forgive me if this is lost in translation...I'm surviving off the pause button and a dictionary :wink:...usless Brit :mrgreen: )

What is the reconstruction based on? Archaeological evidence or literary?

Is it industrial or agricultural or both

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Jurjen, most time was spent drilling... ^^

Moi: Archaeological, one of the originals is from the vicus Belginum / Wederath :-)

Thank you both!

Interesting reading having helped with a water bucket chain lifting device last year.
