EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glance into the Past: The Fosse Way Roman Road from an Aerial Perspective 2. Description: This aerial photograph, taken by Damian Grady for Historic England in 2018, offers a unique perspective on the ancient Fosse Way Roman Road as it stretches southwest towards the historic market town of Cirencester in Gloucestershire, England. The Fosse Way, one of the most significant Roman roads in Britain, was constructed during the late 1st or early 2nd century AD. 3. The image reveals the intricate layout of the Roman road, which was meticulously engineered to facilitate the movement of troops, trade, and communication between the Roman settlements of Lincoln and Exeter. The road's alignment is clearly visible, with its characteristic width, straight sections, and gentle curves designed to minimize the impact of terrain on travel. 4. As the photograph looks down upon the landscape, the Fosse Way can be seen cutting through the verdant fields and farmland, its alignment unchanged by the passage of time. The road's alignment is punctuated by the occasional tree or hedgerow, providing a stark contrast to the ancient pavement and the modern world that lies beyond. 5. The image also offers a glimpse into the rich history of the area, with the remains of Roman settlements and other archaeological sites visible in the surrounding landscape. These sites, many of which are now protected by Historic England, provide invaluable insights into the lives of the people who lived and worked in this region during the Roman occupation. 6. The Fosse Way remains an enduring testament to the engineering prowess and cultural influence of the ancient Romans. This aerial photograph, taken by Damian Grady, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and understanding our shared heritage, and the role that archaeology plays in uncovering the stories of the past.
