NZ3667 : Reconstructed Roman gatehouse at Arbeia Roman Fort, Lawe Top, South Shields
taken 4 years ago, near to North Shields, North Tyneside, England
Reconstructed Roman gatehouse at Arbeia Roman Fort, Lawe Top, South Shields
The west gatehouse and wall are in profile here, showing what impressive structures they are even today, let alone in Roman Britain.
The gatehouse was reconstructed in 1986.
Reconstruction is a great way to bring ancient history and prehistory to life and communicates better than many books, leaflets, museums and even those most potent communicators - actual artifacts.
