I live in Londinium. Just a little of the Roman walls remain. Hadrian’s, a couple of hundred miles to the north, is in better nick
Yes. It also used to be part of the Byzantine, Ottoman, Greek, Persian, Islamic, French, and British empires.
It's amazing that we live so far apart from each other but that if we were living 2,000 years ago we would both be in the same empire
The Roman Empire was massive!
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
It must be amazing to vist so many historical places and see the very structures built by people long gone.
Towns ending chester, ceter and caster were roman military towns
There is a roman fort and dock on my fathers (ex) farm in Ribchester. As a child I spent many a happy hour playing as a roman centurion or leget and helping archeologists play in the mud.
The bathhouse
Same.
Nope. I live in a region that was managed and maintained by the Coast Salish peoples.
"The Northwest Coast Indian peoples, who lived in the Pacific Northwest, can be classified into four units, or “provinces.” The northern province includes speakers of Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, and the Tsimshian-influenced Haisla (northernmost Heiltsuq or Kwakiutl). The Wakashan province includes all other Kwakiutl, the Bella Coola, and the Nuu-chah-nulth. The Coast Salish–Chinook province extended south to the central coast of Oregon and includes the Makah, Chinook, Tillamook, Siuslaw, and others. The northwestern California province includes the Athabaskan-speaking Tututni-Tolowa as well as the Karok, Yurok, Wiyot, and Hupa."

Where I live was never part of the Roman Empire. They had trading outposts here and I'm an hours drive away from where my ancestors raided a trade caravan heading to Roman territory in the autumn.
And while Lower Saxony wasn't part of the Roman Empire, it was part of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Teutoburg Forest is a bit more than an hour. Kalkriese, where the raid was, that later was called the "Battle of the Teutoburg Forest", isn't exactly at the Teutoburg Forest (as we know it today).
Shall I really answer?

Not tempted to hire a metal detector and see what you can unearth? I suppose that's been done to death
My city of birth was conquered after two years of siege by the Romans.,.so I am on the side of the besieged and conquered...as well, of course.
I live in what was the Haudenosaunee "Empire."

In Kalkriese every square meter has been dug up and every stone turned.
I currently live in what used to be land of the Tingui people.
They were pretty much driven out of significance in their own land in the last 400 hundred years or so.
