📷📽🧵on the multi-period Ardoch #Roman fort, situated on the outskirts of Braco, Perthshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. On the Gask Ridge Roman frontier line of march, road, and fortification, this area was of huge importance to the #Romans whenever they campaigned in #Scotland.

Probable Flavian, Antonine, and Severan #Roman campaigning and fortification activity here at Ardoch and in its immediate surrounds makes the area a region of international importance to the study of the #Romans.

Post-Roman continuity of Ardoch being a local power centre is suggested by the construction of a medieval church in the middle of the fort, the power-continuity phenomenon being seen at similar sites in the rest of Britain and throughout the #Roman world.
