Well ok that may be a little fib but it felt like I had gone back in time when I visited Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. They were holding an event called A Soldier's Life in which a Roman Legionnaire gave an account of life on the wall when it was built around AD 122. It only took them 7 years to complete the wall and it was all done by the soldiers themselves. Quite a feat at 80 miles long.
The narration of the 'actor' was first class as was it from the ancient Briton that also gave an account of how life was in these times.
Even though this was a replication of our ancient history from over a thousand years ago, it dawned on me that not much has really changed in the word to this day. Foreign forces still continue to occupy other lands and attempt to imply their own way of life on the natives for the apparent better way to live. They say history repeats itself, well maybe it does...
