entire Southgate peninsula from Tyne to North Sea completing the barricade. The fort guarded the supply-by-sea for the entire garrisoned wall.

As is often joked in my town.....

" How did Wallsend get such a name"?

"That is where the Romans ran out of bricks"

Over to you

Very nice, wouldn't have thought it could be Roman. Well, there are no Roman ruins around here, as I live in what the Romans called Germania Libera. Maybe I'll visit Arbeia one day, if the brits will let me in.


@u crank: it looks like it was made from copper. Is that some sort of heat-transfer device?

I'm sorry but I have been unable to find out what that material is. The whole object is not a heat-transfer device.

The object in question is stationary. It is part of a larger object that is not.

Sorry, no.

@ Ostfriese. A little more research and I now believe that the material may be a magnesium alloy, stainless steel or a copper alloy.
