EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo print, captured by the talented Dave MacLeod, showcases the remarkable remnants of Habitancum Roman Fort in Risingham, Northumberland. Steeped in history and dating back to the 2nd century CE, this ancient military stronghold stands as a testament to the might and strategic importance of the Roman Empire. The intricate earthworks visible in this image reveal the defensive ditches that once encircled this formidable fortification. These well-preserved outlines offer a glimpse into what was once a bustling hub of activity for soldiers and civilians alike. Abandoned at the close of the 2nd century CE, Habitancum's remains provide an invaluable window into Roman life during their occupation of Britain. The buildings that once stood within these walls are now mere traces etched onto the landscape but still evoke a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but marvel at how time has weathered these structures yet left behind such tangible evidence of our past. It serves as a poignant reminder that even empires rise and fall, leaving behind echoes for future generations to discover. Thanks to Historic England's dedication to preserving our heritage sites like Habitancum Roman Fort, we can continue to explore and appreciate these archaeological wonders from above. This print is not only visually stunning but also invites us on an immersive journey through time – connecting us with those who walked these grounds centuries ago.
