Therein lies a tale

It is not often that archaeology can tell a story about an individual event, but Mary Beard has been visiting an exhibition in Rome that may tell a tale about the fall of the Roman emperor Maxentius and his fall to Constantine.

It reminds me of one of my favourite archaeological sites in the world, Dura Europos, where the remains of a battle were preserved in situ.
