Silchester




So, while in the South of England, I was lucky enough to visit the site of Roman ruins. Near to Reading is an ancient Roman road, dating well before BCE. This wall was built as protection and the large circular area was an arena ring. On the outside entrance of these walls, skulls were unearthed of people who entered uninvited. This site dates back to the Iron age. It is pretty amazing to think of the things these stones have seen. It's about 3 miles of walls. The morning was crisp, sunny, and beautiful. I loved imagining all the people who have been there before.
