      Were there camels in Roman Britain? A brief note on the nature and context of the London camel remains — new post by me :) http://www.caitlingreen.org/2017/11/were-there-camels-in-roman-britain.html …pic.twitter.com/BXlMvE3cUH

      Distribution map of sites with Roman-era camel remain in Europe, showing an extensive spread from Iberia and Frances across to the Balkans and the Black Sea coast. Finds are mainly situated in the northern parts of the empire.

      Three slightly grumpy looking pack-camels, with one having a rider perched on the load. The camels are riding rightwards and shown against a green background.
