Both.

yeah rabbits fishing yeah they definitely go fishing there's a lot so it's not the loch it's l-o-u-g-h up here but you know that supplement your diet or your pay yeah so a fair few things um yeah and any amphitheaters in the area obviously we've got a couple near well there's tremontium isn't there so there's an amphitheater even further north yeah so we know that they did build amphitheaters in this area of britain any evidence for one along hadrian's wall

And of course, we should mention, because you mentioned them earlier as well, the baths.

That's another pleasure that they can have without... If they, let's say, hypothetically, they don't have a pass to leave one of the forts, they will have the baths to go and relax in.

Oh, so even just to go down to the... Because I'm thinking, Chester's is right next to the... Yeah, but it's outside the fort, isn't it?

It's where you vent as well, if need be.

Yes.

Annoy your commander or something like that.

I must also ask, though, about... Because I found this very interesting.

We've actually talked about one interesting example of this in the past.

Crime and Punishment is...

Let's say you went down to the local town for a lot of drinks or whatever.

You get into an argument, you've done badly at gambling or whatever, and it's broken out into a brawl and maybe there's even been a murder or something like that.

Do we know anything about that, if things get a bit too out of hand?

And do we have any examples then like of healthcare then?

For instance, if you were living in a fort at that time, if there was, you know, someone got injured for one reason or another, was there the equivalent of a hospital they could go to?

They could call 1X, 1X, 1X?

Oh, God, the Roman eye surgery stuff is horrific.

got poi access to fairly good medical care but it's all still relative yeah gosh that's very interesting well you mentioned religion there in passing if you're one of these soldiers on these these communities on the wall were there any gods that you were more likely to pray to than others were there any particular gods that we know from archaeology were more popular than others for communities along the wall

So kind of like Aquasoulis with the Roman baths at Bath.
