A knockout archaeological discovery! 🥊 Rare Roman leather boxing gloves used for sparring, so remarkably preserved that a boxer’s knuckle imprint is still visible in the smaller glove! Excavated in 2017 from the cavalry barracks at Vindolanda, near Hadrian’s Wall 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

A 3rd century section of the Roman Wall at St. Albans which was built to defend the Roman city of Verulamium. The surviving sections are located in Verulamium Park which is a short walk from the city centre. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #RomanBritain #StAlbans
