Podcasts about Vindolanda

Es una de las figuras más fascinantes de la historia antigua. Él encarna el poder y la influencia de Roma. Su arte de combate, su fuerza, su espada, lo convirtieron en leyenda. El legionario romano se convirtió en un icono popular, pero más allá del mito ¿quién era realmente? ¿Qué significaba ser legionario en aquella época? ¿Cuál era su vida diaria, sus ideales, sus desafíos y sus anhelos? ¿Y qué unía a estos guerreros tan temidos como admirados? A lo largo de las últimas décadas, numerosos descubrimientos arqueológicos han permitido desmantelar progresivamente las fotografías que representan la figura legendaria del legionario. Desde el sitio de Vindolanda en el norte de Inglaterra hasta la colina de Fourvière en el barrio romano de Lyon, esta investigación arqueológica y científica pinta un retrato íntimo del hombre detrás del soldado. Siguiendo excavaciones recientes en Europa (desenterrar armas, ropa, vajilla e incluso correspondencia de soldados romanos) y gracias a secuencias de reconstrucción, imágenes en 3D y entrevistas a expertos, En la piel de un legionario romano revela tesoros escondidos para darle vida a este mundo antiguo.

Den 23 mars 1973 görs ett oväntat och spektakulärt fynd i det romerska fortet Vindolanda nära Hadrianusmuren. Ett brev hittas i en av schakten. Snart hittas fler. Det är festinbjudningar, skuldlistor, jobbbrev och passivt aggressiva meddelanden vänner emellan. Breven är skrivna på tunna träskivor, och inget man vanligtvis hittar i en arkeologisk kontext. Men de ger en unik inblick i livet vid ett romerskt fort. Vem blev bjuden på Claudia Severas födelsedagsfest? Kan inte prefekten skicka lite mer öl? Och varför önskas Fadus så mycket illvilja?

At the major Roman site of Vindolanda, just south of Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, excavations have unearthed artefacts from nearly two thousand years ago. In this programme, archaeologist Rose Ferraby visits the site and asks what we can learn about the people who lived here and the kind of lives they led. She hears about the five thousand pairs of shoes which were left behind by the departing Romans, from marching boots to baby's bootees, with another 30-40,000 more pairs believed to still lie buried on the site - along with several tonnes of pottery, ceramics and animal bones.At Vindolanda's sister site, Magna, archaeological work is being directly affected by climate change. The peat bog on which it sits is drying out, exposing ancient structures to the air. It's a race against home to find out as much as possible and to preserve the past in the face of the changing climate.Produced by Ruth Sanderson

Dr. Elizabeth Greene, Associate Professor of Classics at The University of Western Ontario, holds the Canada Research Chair in Roman Archaeology. Her work on Roman ruins near Hadrian's Wall in northern England looks at everyday objects like leather footwear. History is written by the winners, they say, and as a result, the voices of women are often left out of historical narratives. But by looking closer at the archaeological record, Dr. Greene has been able to discover a lot more about everyday life in Roman society. It's an approach to history that challenges our assumptions about how the world works. Hosted and produced by Cameron Graham, Professor of Accounting at York University.

One of the most famous Roman antiquity inscriptions comes from Vindolanda, a fort along Hadrian's Wall in northern Britain. This is Claudia Severa's so-called “birthday letter,” which she wrote to her friend Sulpicia Lepidina around 100 CE. Severa dictated to a scribe on a small wooden tablet the invitation to her friend for a birthday celebration on September 11th, as well as well wishes in her own handwriting. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://martinifisher.com/2022/04/10/heres-to-more-life-love-and-adventures-to-come-the-ancient-history-of-birthday-celebrations/

Podcast on Hadrian's Wall and Vindolanda sites that form parts of the Remains of a Roman Britain, when Rome ruled over Britannia for 400 years.

We're back to look at the more action adventures following the success of Gladiator and writer David Franzoni's next project: King Arthur (2004). Here, Antoine Fuqua directs a gritty re-imagining of Arthurian legend in the final years of the Roman Empire. We get into the mid-00's obsession for gritty realism, the NEW archaeological 'discoveries' and esoteric Celtic spiritualism which inspired this movie, along with riveting discussion of the Roman fort of Vindolanda, our favorite Knights of the Round Table, whether or not Til Schweiger has hair and our favorite (male, non-queer-coded) sexy villains pre-2010. Enjoy, or don't. I'm a podcast, not Roman authority. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Situated roughly one mile south of Hadrian's Wall is one of the great jewels of Roman and early medieval archaeology: Vindolanda. Over the past 50 years, annual excavations at this site have revealed incredible amounts of new information. Information that has not only shone more light on the site's history, but also on the minutiae of everyday life for those people who lived on this north western frontier of the Roman Empire almost 2,000 years. A plethora of stunning artefacts have been unearthed over the last half decade from Vindolanda: from the only Roman boxing gloves found from anywhere in the Roman Empire to early medieval Christian graffiti. What's most exciting of all, however, is that there are still so many more exciting finds to be uncovered in the years ahead. In this episode we return to Northumberland to speak to Dr Andrew Birley and Marta Alberti who, alongside their team of archaeologists and volunteers, are constantly discovering more about the people who lived and passed through the site. They describe their findings from 2021, including more information about the other animals at Vindolanda and the post-Roman uses of the fortifications. We also get a glimpse of what we can expect from next year's work.If you're enjoying this podcast and looking for more fascinating Ancients content then subscribe to our Ancients newsletter here.

What was life like on Hadrian's Wall? This week, we're going to explore the living conditions along the Wall--at the forts and the milecastles, in the officers' quarters and soldiers' barracks, and in the bustling civilian towns that sprang up around the military encampments. There's a treasure trove of archaeology at forts along the Wall--especially at Vindolanda, where fragile artifacts are perfectly preserved in deep anaerobic soil. Find out what we've managed to piece together about life on the Wall from the well-preserved clothes, footwear, weapons, tools, jewelry, bodies, and the fort commander's private stash of mail.

Viajamos a la provincia de Britania al norte del Imperio Romano. Al año 117 dC Acaba de fallecer el emperador Trajano y desde la parte oriental del imperio, el sucesor Adriano viaja a Roma para proclamarse jefe de gobierno. Su primera decisión va a ser dejar de expandir Roma para dedicarse a consolidar los territorios conquistados. En la isla de Gran Bretaña, las constantes rebeliones y la inestabilidad hacen que Adriano decida algo sin precedentes hasta el momento: la construcción de un enorme muro de costa a costa que definirá la frontera física de Britania con las tierras del norte. Una obra monumental que va a llevar 10 años de trabajo con más de 15.000 hombres implicados en el proyecto. Hoy os hablaré de los principales yacimientos y de la importancia de los hallazgos realizados en Vindolanda, Housesteads, Chesters y Corbridge.

Pete joins David to discuss the recently published Hadrian's Wall: A Journey Through Time, which features many of his photographs. He talks about how he came to archaeology via volunteering at sites such as Vindolanda, how  posting his photos of Roman archaeology to Twitter has generated a significant following across the globe, and advice he'd give to anyone wanting to get out and photograph heritage sites. He also reflects on how the media don't always present a story about heritage in the way they perhaps should, as Pete found when some of his own photographs showing damage to the Wall went viral. You can find Pete on Twitter @pete _ savin (https://twitter.com/pete_savin?lang=en) and purchase Hadrian's Wall: A Journey Through Time here (http://www.bookscumbria.com/cgi-bin/trolleyed_public.cgi?action=showprod_6593) . 

Helen joins David to discuss the Minimus Latin course, for which she is the illustrator, that has been going for twenty years!
