It’s clear that archaeology. <br /> Can tell us of the history <br />of long forgotten Roman forts. <br />From evidence of many sorts. <br />Broken shards of Samian Ware. <br /> Which turn up almost everywhere <br /> can tell within a year or two <br /> the date when they were brought here new. <br />Foundation walls that still remain <br />when deciphered make it plain. <br />That this was a most important site. <br />Our findings greeted with delight. <br />Vinovia a Roman fort <br /> is much, much older than was thought. <br /> <br />13-Jan-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/outpost-of-empire-for-friend-thad/
