Walk Like A Roman

Walk Like A Roman

Ok, so The Eagle was no Oscar-winner, even if Channing Tatum and the gay love story subplot was rather a laugh. But it did turn our heads east, to the Romans in Britain, and to that monument of gay emperorship, Hadrian's Wall.

Ok, so The Eagle was no Oscar-winner, even if Channing Tatum and the gay love story subplot was rather a laugh. But it did turn our heads east, to the Romans in Britain, and to that monument of gay emperorship, Hadrian's Wall.

The BBC has a lovely gentle article about walking the length of the wall, from coast to coast, that meanders from present day musings to finding phallic carvings on some of the forts; dedications to long-forgotten Roman gods.

And if you are planning a trip to the UK, you might well want to head north to stand on the windblown ramparts and imagine being a centurion two millennia ago, looking out to a howling wilderness filled with naked blue-painted Scots warriors. Well, we like to think so anyway.
