An Icon of the Roman Empire Just Revealed a Treasure Trove of Artifacts

Excavations at Bremenium Fort, the northernmost fort along Hadrian’s Wall in England, revealed a host of Roman artifacts. A wide variety of pottery, metalwork, soldiers’ tools, and more shed some light on what daily life was like at the fort. One amphora pot traveled to the fort from as far away as Spain, likely carrying olive oil. Image by Marc Guitard - Getty Images
