      A North African Barbary ape in fifth- to sixth-century Britain? A short note on the significance and context of the Wroxeter macaque remains — new post :) http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/02/barbary-ape-wroxeter.html …pic.twitter.com/m3Og37obMY

      The Wroxeter find is one of probably three European archaeological finds of Barbary apes from Late Antiquity, the others coming from NE Spain and Constantinople.

      Majority of finds of Barbary apes are of Roman/Late Antique date; some were military mascots, whilst others clearly well-loved companion animals, e.g. that buried in the L3rdC at Poitiers next to its owner in a coffin & inside a large funerary enclosure: http://journals.openedition.org/archeopages/296 pic.twitter.com/Dr6jrXWSgE

          Other finds from Roman military contexts incl a Barbary ape from Catterick, N.Yorkshire; a macaque burial from a military necropolis in Meurthe-et-Moselle, N.France; & a Barbary ape from the Roman fort of Rainau-Buch, Germany (pic=south gate of the fort: http://www.livius.org/articles/place/rainau-buch/ …)pic.twitter.com/pF7UpKlrSa

          There are also medieval finds of Barbary ape remains from Lower Saxony, London and Southampton—the latter from the property of the wealthy 13th-century merchant Richard of Southwick (Pic=BL Additional 18851, f. 270r, 15thC, Southern Netherlands)pic.twitter.com/mGEDtEKJEW

          Of course, the 5th/6thC Wroxeter find of a Barbary ape is part of a wider picture of Mediterranean imports in 5th- to 6th-century Britain & Ireland, e.g. http://www.caitlingreen.org/2017/03/a-very-long-way-from-home.html … & http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/01/st-ia-of-st-ives-byzantine-saint.html …pic.twitter.com/aSR4hw2aXZ

          With regard to the distribution of Barbary macaque remains in Europe, it's worth comparing with that of camel remains—notably higher proportion from Britain & Ireland, for example:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/928363213015658498 …

          Dr Caitlin Green added,

          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.

          Alternatively, the North African Barbary ape found in 5th-/6th-century Wroxeter may have arrived via the Severn Estuary; worth noting that post-Roman imports of African Red Slip Ware are known from both sides of the estuary (pic=ARSW dish in @Cornwall_Museum).pic.twitter.com/N54PNMWxcj
