Who were the Dobunni tribe? From ancient coin-minters and guardians of tradition, they thrived through a peaceful way of life amidst the tumultuous backdrop of ancient Britain. But their idyllic, autonomous lifestyle ended with the arrival of the Romans.

I drew this piece last year for my December 2021 patrons! It's of a Roman couple gathering materials for their Saturnalia decorations in Hadrians Wall country 🧡

Romano-British tombstone, a.d. 43-410 Under a niche, indicated by a semicircle, is the head of a girl with ear-rings, flanked on the left by a dog, on the right by a cock, presumably indicating her pets. Above the niche is what appears to be a five-pointed star.

Nothing is now visible of the fort at Benwell (Condercum) in Newcastle, which was occupied throughout most of the Roman period by the Asturian cavalry regiment from northern Spain. To the south of the fort site, however, is the only causeway (or permanent crossing) of the Vallum earthwork to be seen on the line of Hadrian’s Wall. The crossing was one of a series of such causeways sited south of the forts, which were the only points where the earthwork known as the Vallum could be crossed to gain access to the zone immediately behind the Wall.
