I've been seeking out a bit of classical education recently so this was a good introduction into some of our Roman history! Interesting mention of Chester as well; that's where my grandparents live and I had no idea about that little piece of Chester history that you touched on so I shall mention that the next time I'm up there. Sounds like an interesting wander, Harry. I might take a little escapade up to Corstopitum myself to have a look at the ruins etc. Has anyone ever told you that you should write for history books and magazines? Being able to eloquently write accounts of history is a very specific skill and not something all writers can do (I'm not convinced I still can!), but you really do make it look effortless.
ONE question - about conservatorship ( ? ) among other things. IS souvenir - hunting discouraged at some of the more visible historic sites in the UK ? Greece has had to clamp down on " souvenir hunters " even to levying sizable fines, IIRC.

Thanks, Harry! Sounds like a very interesting meander, thanks for writing about it!
Really interesting, Harry. As with all your articles, I have learnt a lot ! Thank you.
