Hadrian’s Wall and Pompeii

Sunday, 25th June, 2006

There are some new articles on Etrusia’s Roman history site. http://romans.etrusia.co.uk/roman_pompeii.php is a brief introduction to Pompeii and Herculaneum, with links to some 30 year-old photographs of parts of Pompeii that may not all be accessible to a visitor today.

There is also a short article on Hadrian’s Wall, on the same principles - a basic background introduction to the Roman monument that stretches across the whole of the North of England, with many sites along the route which will interest visitors. http://romans.etrusia.co.uk/roman_hadrians_wall.php

More shameless plugging, I guess.

Anglo-Saxons

Sunday, 25th June, 2006

There is some good new material on the Anglo-Saxons on http://saxons.etrusia.co.uk/ which has just been remodelled and will be further extended in the near future. This would be a useful introduction to a little-known period in English history for senior school pupils following the national curriculum in History. It is also an interesting condensation of knowledge about the Saxons for anyone with an interest in British history.
