View to the reconstructed Commanding Officer's house at Arbeia Roman Fort, Lawe Top, South Shields
My first visit to Arbeia. The reconstructions look amazing already. We can barely perceive the glory that was Rome. These help that process start.

Roman Fort
Arbeia Roman Fort, originally built to house a garrison which guarded the entrance to the River Tyne.
Four miles east of the end of Hadrian's Wall, at South Shields, Arbeia soon became the military supply base for the 17 forts along the Wall.

Quarters in the replica barrack block at Arbeia Roman Fort, South Shields
Winter here must have been 'fresh' and shared quarters must have been vital to enjoy some warmth and comfort...

A bedroom in the Commanding Officer's house at Arbeia Roman Fort, South Shields
While Iron Age Britons lived in roundhouses made of wood and thatch Romans lived in rooms that differ little from 21st century rooms today. They enjoyed underfloor heating, regular baths, food and drink from anywhere in the Empire, they wrote, they visited the local amphitheatre and they conquered all nations.
When they left in 410 AD it took us many centuries, maybe even millennia to claw our way back to where we once were.

Inside one of the rooms in the Commanding Officer's house at Arbeia Roman Fort, South Shields
The walls were painted to look like marble panels or inlays. Status was high and the rooms were spacious, lofty and light.
