And they're well known for their archers, aren't they?

Ooh.

Okay, that's exciting.

It's got to be reinforced, doesn't it?

I mean, even if they might, and then they might marry locally and then their children will then kind of take up the mantle when they grow up.

Is that the idea as well?

So can we imagine that with these communities, these soldier communities, but of course, much more than just soldiers and their families and so on.

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.
