Do we think as time goes on that they develop quite distinct cultural identities along the wall because of the communities that they become associated with?

They're not homogeneously Roman as such.

The move to Patagonia from Wales.

Got it.

How interesting.

Okay, so that really does endure.

They keep that up on that.

Well, shall we now focus in on a day in the life of a man or a woman, quite frankly, on Hadrian's Wall, either a soldier or soldier's wife or family, and get more of an insight what we know from archaeology.

We've mentioned the Asturias contingent already from Chester's.

So shall we maybe just use them as an example?

Because there's lots of archaeology from Chester's as well to learn more about it.

So let's kick off a day.

Let's say it's the end of the second century AD or sometime around that.

Do we have any idea about the mourning routine of a soldier or their family?

Do we know when they would wake up, where they would be sleeping?

What do we know about that?

Because they're horses in the same room, don't you?

per group to make up the 18th century you'd probably be taking turns because i guess this is different because if you think of a like a roman army or an ancient army if you're thinking of a field army they'll be given rations for x days on campaign but of course this is a different setting this is where they are every day of the year if they're a garrison kind of thing so i didn't realize that that of course the making of your own food how much time in the day that would have entailed and do we know much about where those cooking places would have been

And do you think the soldiers would have had servants to help in the fort for any of that stuff?

And the fetching of water, we talked about food early on, but do we know much about the fetching of water and liquid?
