Today I learned that in Newcastle's metro system they have a station called Wallsend because it's the end of Hadrian's Wall And since it's the edge of the Roman Empire, the signs have Latin on them
That is because most Geordies are fluent in Latin.
@cara.city how many people have tagged you in this
I love that! Well done Newcastle 👏
..then you can take the 122 bus, named after the year the wall was built, and visit it
Telegram from West Lothian and the lost 9th Legion holding the limes against the barbarians of Falkirk and Grangemouth the other side of the Antonine Wall Rome still lives!
Thanks to @verbingnouns.bsky.social@roryturnbull.bsky.social for taking me on a delightful brief tour with linguistic highlights!
Love this. Looked up some articles from when the Latin signs were first put up, and apparently the exits said "To Vomitorium" haha
Been there lat Tuesday
