Very interesting article by Mary Beard on the involvement of women in Roman military life, highlighting some of those who lived along or near to Hadrian's Wall.

We're at Discovery Museum today for this year's Hadrian's Wall Networking Day, a great opportunity to hear about the latest projects and meet colleagues from east to West across the Wall.
