Description: | The third-century barracks at Arbeia Roman Fort were destroyed by fire in about AD 300. We do not know whether this was an accident or enemy action. But we do know that it was not an act of deliberate demolition by the Roman army, for a number of valuable items were left by the soldiers in the barracks. Here, for example, a mixing bowl (mortarium) and grinder (like a modern pestle and mortar) were left lying where they had last been used. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.britisharchaeology.450943 | Go to resource |
