It was just like this when the tribes rose up and attacked the Ninth, catching them with their Subligaculum down, back when Agricola was Campaigning here during the time of Domitian.
Keep your eyes peeled !

This series of photos certainly creates excitement for what might be in store for us. Love the mist/fog effect.

Thanks Mike !

With getting on almost for four centuries of Roman occupation, the Roman Province of Britannia will have lots of untold, unremembered stories, so I feel free to imagine some of them as they might have been !

There's something about the fate of the Ninth Legion that's almost like a mystery novel, with the exception that even now there is no definite 100% totally satisfactory explanation as to it's disappearance.

Since it was something we had to read at school and try how anyone might, it's impossible to ignore Rosemary Sutcliff and her novel "The Eagle of the Ninth".Lately, a few years back re-imagined in the films "The Centurion" and "The Eagle", (Centurion, being the better of the two IMO) . But if you lack the time to read the novel, certainly take the time to watch the quite old now BBC serial, "The Eagle of the Ninth", which even with a small budget preserves the spirit as well as the basics of the story best.

Steve,

Yes, love the view and the mist. Sometimes the setting is more powerful than the characters.

Thanks guys ! :salute::

Don't think the Legionary would of felt comfortable with the fog rolling in obscuring everything and then with a feeling of being chilled to the very bones coming on and with Samhain just a few nights hence when the borders of the living and dead blur !{eek3}

Steve,
It gives me the same feeling I got when watching a scene from Centurion with a Roman on the wall.

When viewing your cinematic images I imagine a Roman fort on he northern most frontier if Britain. The soldier looks out into the vast, misty unknown, and hearing distant sounds of unnamed origin in the night, the soldier thinks to himself- I sure as hell don't want to go out there.
