Foss Dyke canal, Lincolnshire; renovated 1121 by Henry I+seems to be mentioned by al-Idrisi http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4930913 pic.twitter.com/rzIOH8qavh
Foss Dyke often thought Roman, esp as Mars statuette found, tho' 10thC date also proposed... http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1362010&partId=1 …pic.twitter.com/wzV5MxdQUa
@caitlinrgreen 10th century seems unlikely, but 12th+ seems possible (compare with eg Notre Dame statues showing Antique influence)?
@DorothyKing Oops, no, meant canal (Foss dyke) may be 10thC! :) Interesting idea that statuette might be 12thC tho', as dyke renovated then!
@caitlinrgreen but still, good to remember rediscovery of Antiquity started long before the Renaissance!
@DorothyKing Absolutely! :) The rather interesting inscription also suggests real in this case, though, I think? :)pic.twitter.com/McQS9VkvE8
