11 hectare Roman fort discovered near Amsterdam - shared by Vince Cholewa, 27 December 2021

11 hectares!

What colour were Roman legionaries' tunics? These ones might have been orange ... well, not really, but what was thought to have been a small border fort in what is now Holland appears to have been an 11 hectare legionary fortress guarding Claudius right flank during his invasion of Briton. Ave Caesar!
