Roman stone tombstone of Titus Annius, with carved inscriptions, in the Vindolanda Museum, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. Inscriptions on objects found at Vindolanda are deciphered by Dr Robin Birley and Prof Anthony Birley, before Dr Tomlin produces an official recording in the next volume of 'Britannia'. Hadrian's Wall was built 73 miles across Britannia, now England, 122-128 AD, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, ruled 117-138, to mark the Northern extent of the Roman Empire and guard against barbarian attacks from the Picts to the North. The Vindolanda Museum is run by the Vindolanda Charitable Trust and forms part of the Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
