#RomanSiteSaturday - The Arch of Janus (Forum Boarium) - only surviving Rome' quadrifrons arch. Not dedicated to the Roman god Janus, but it was named after 'ianua' -door, name of the double-headed god of beginnings and transitions. Four sides once showed Pantheon's divinities.
#RomanSiteSaturday - The #Roman Empire in 117 A.D, at its greatest extent at the time of Trajan’s death.
Third-century hyperinflation..... the price of goods skyrocketed...unrest made trade difficult. Rockbourne inhabitants need to look elsewhere. No more fancy Samian Ware...local pottery made across the Avon looks promising......
