Vindolanda is located in modern day Bardon Mill, Northumberland just south of Hadrians Wall. Evidence suggest locals continued to inhabit the fort as a settlement after the Romans departed.
Okay, this picture does not look as eye popping as others… but look closely and it is pretty amazing. Carved into the rock face below the Acropolis of Lindos is a relief of a Rhodian trireme. It dates to around 180 BC.

Photo take circa 2017. I try to post interesting travel photos of historic sites on my Instagram under the same handle, edmundmp.
