A brief story in the News Guardian mentions what looks like a fantastic exhibition based around inscriptions from Hadrian's Wall, at Segedunum Roman fort:
An exhibition is
set to display detail inscribed stones of Hadrian's Wall, and give
people a chance to get closer to the people who built the wall.
Visitors
to Segedunum Roman Fort this spring will see Names Set in Stone: the
Builders of Hadrian's Wall, which features twelve centurial stones
recovered from along the length of the Wall.
The stones give the names of the centurions in charge of the soldiers who built Hadrian's Wall and from this basic information the exhibition builds a picture of the centurions and where they came from, and shows visitors what can be learned from such artefacts.
Geoff Woodward, manager for North Tyneside Museums said: "The centurial stones provide an amazing insight into the building of Hadrian's Wall.
"The soldiers who built the Wall came from across the Roman Empire and it's fascinating to imagine the lives that these men must have lived."
