The fort of Petuaria may have been strengthened at a time when 'rebel' Roman emperors ruled Britain.
A new image by graphic designer Mark Hoyle showing how the fortifications of Roman Petuaria, now the town of Brough, may have lookedA team working on a dig in Brough have uncovered evidence that fortifications were strengthened in the late 3rd Century, at a time when Britain was ruled by "rebel" emperors.
The Petuaria ReVisited Project, which is leading the excavations, will be holding a open event on Sunday, from 10:00 to 16:00 BST. Visitors will be able to tour the site, view finds and take part in family activities.Martin Credland, Petuaria ReVisited project lead, said the open day would be an opportunity to see the latest development, with tours and talks explaining the recent finds.
Mr Credland said he first became interested in the project as he was keen to change the focus on Brough away from aerospace and onto archaeology instead.They are investigating the Roman defences at Burrs playing field, as well as a Roman road in an adjacent garden. He said people who take part "learn new skills, meet new people, and develop a new interest" - as well as enjoying time spent outdoors.
