Roman tombstone, Hexham Abbey, Northumberland, England
The Conquest Stone, a Roman tombstone depicting a cavalryman riding over the body of a native Briton, a common Roman political propaganda motif, 1st century AD, in Hexham Abbey, Northumberland, England. The inscription reads, 'To the venerated departed: here lies Flavinus, a horse soldier of the cavalry regiment of Petriana, standard bearer of the troop of Candidus, aged 25, of 7 years' Service'. 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. Picture by Manuel Cohen
