In the back is a freight train, 20th century technology transporting 21st century goods. And in the foreground are the remains of a villa rustica, a farming estate from almost 2000 years ago when the Romans were settling in the area.
The villa was only discovered in the 1980s although it is a built up area. I was very impressed with the layout and the swimming pool as well as the underfloor heating.

They did! What I find particularly fascinating is their uniformity to some extent – we’ve been to Chester at Hadrian’s Wall in the north of England and the “feel” of the place is very similar to the feel of a settlement called Haselburg around here.

Extraordinary isn’t it – perhaps they were all given the same architect!!
