The excavated stone steps leading up to the Upper South Gate on Steep Hill, Lincoln: https://romanlincolnshire.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/steep-hill-steps.jpg …pic.twitter.com/dEu97MvZtE
A large chunk of the Roman northern wall of Lincoln's Upper City, just to the east of the Newport Arch; in front of it was the castellum aquae (water tank) that stored the water brought into the city by the aqueduct pipe: https://www.visitlincoln.com/things-to-do/interest/city-wall-castellum-aquae-and-ditch …pic.twitter.com/Kf4SFfwwdX
Just to the south of this, on the opposite side of East Bight, were the public baths of the Upper City, which were decorated with imported marble veneers—some imported from as far afield as Greece and Turkey.pic.twitter.com/Xb5TWlg7NA

A doorway and staircase from the surviving remnants of the 3rd-century AD Upper East Gate of Roman Lincoln; the East Gate was apparently used as a residence in the medieval period, being given to the bishop in 1130–3 by Henry I.pic.twitter.com/oeyhnVEsoP
Must have been a sight
Indeed! The steps are still there, but buried!
!!! Seriously - everyday you post something that blows my mind. All the times I pass these parts of the city. 


So rough guess..roman ground level is how deep ?
Ooh, I'd have to look at the reports... Not that far, I'd guess? :)
The stairs look rather large so thought street level must be deep below arch
There's a image of the stairs here, for what it's worth :) (https://romanlincolnshire.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/steep-hill-steps.jpg …)pic.twitter.com/WicKpmRTBF
Interestingly, deviations and shifts to a winding, narrow plan are common in the eastern Mediterranean, e.g. https://archive.org/stream/KennedyMedina/Kennedy-Medina#page/n1/mode/2up … :)
Indeed. Fwiw, Kennedy's theory of how it occurred and timing etc has been challenged e.g. at Antioch, suggested broad colonnaded street not lost until 10thC, pace K :)
I’ve been in No. 44, and seen the old Roman parts on show, never knew it led up to something as spectacular as this gate though!
Awesome, isn't it!? :-)
