The Roman's invade

Hard to imagine what it must have been like to live here. On the one hand the commanders lived a comfortable life, with central heating, beautiful glassware etc. All in 2 century.... then they went out and fought the Scots... won...advanced...lost..retreated...won/lost... over and over again through the centuries. Only one woman lived on site, the commander's wife. The men could not marry until they had been in army 25 years! Strange life
