  • Granary or horreum, used to store the huge quantities of food required by hundreds of soldiers, with strong buttressed stone walls with air vents, an overhanging roof to keep rain away and raised floors to allow air circulation, at Housesteads Roman Fort, on Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. The granary is on the highest, driest part of the fort, and had 2 storeys with a roof supported on a row of 6 pillars. 2 entrances faced an open area for easy unloading and turning of carts. This building was later modified into 2, visible today, each with its own roof. Housesteads Fort was built in 124 AD and is the most complete Roman fort in Britain, built by legionaries to house 10 centuries of auxiliary soldiers based on the frontier. 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 wall was fortified with milecastles with 2 turrets in between, and a fort about every 5 Roman miles. This section of the Wall is in the Northumberland National Park, managed by the National Trust, and the Hadrian's Wall Path, an 84-mile coast to coast long distance footpath, runs alongside it.

  • Communal Latrine for up to 800 men, with a deep sewer, originally covered with a wooden floor and benches with holes to form multiple toilet seats, at Housesteads Roman Fort, on Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. The sewer was flushed by rainwater via drains, and out via a culvert under the fort wall. In dry weather, rainwater was collected from roofs of nearby buildings and stored in stone tanks seen here. The central platform has a channel along which water flowed for washing. For toilet paper, the soldiers may have used moss, bracken or rags.

  • Altars in the Temple of Mithras, built c. 200 AD by soldiers based at the nearby Carrawburgh Roman Fort, on Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. The temple is dedicated to the god Mithras, who captured and killed a bull in a cave, the 1st creature created on earth, and all other creatures sprang to life from his blood. Mithraic temples are small and confined to represent the cave. The 3 altars are all dedicated by commanding officers of the unit stationed here, the First Cohort of Batavians from the Rhineland. In 1 of the altars a series of pierced holes form Mithras' crown, through which a lamp would have been shone at a high point of the ritual. A curtain would have been drawn back, allowing sunlight to stream in, illuminating the backdrop of Mithras slaying the bull, the triumph of light over darkness.

  • Temple of Mithras, built c. 200 AD by soldiers based at the nearby Carrawburgh Roman Fort, on Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. The temple is dedicated to the god Mithras, who captured and killed a bull in a cave, the 1st creature created on earth, and all other creatures sprang to life from his blood. Mithraic temples are small and confined to represent the cave. The 3 altars are all dedicated by commanding officers of the unit stationed here, the First Cohort of Batavians from the Rhineland. In 1 of the altars a series of pierced holes form Mithras' crown, through which a lamp would have been shone at a high point of the ritual. A curtain would have been drawn back, allowing sunlight to stream in, illuminating the backdrop of Mithras slaying the bull, the triumph of light over darkness. 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 wall was fortified with milecastles with 2 turrets in between, and a fort about every 5 Roman miles. This section of the Wall is in the Northumberland National Park, managed by English Heritage, and the Hadrian's Wall Path, an 84-mile coast to coast long distance footpath, runs alongside it.
