Finding evidence for the Vigiles?
#10
Quote:Salve Kyle,
Your request remembered me to a topic I posted 6 years ago. At that time German archaeologists had found the skeletons of a 30 - 40 years old man, a youth and an old woman in her late sixties in Titz / Germany. Also they found a roman fire syringe - the whole found, dated to about 355 AD was interpreted as a Romen fire brigade man with his juvenile helper that had been killed in action when trying to fight a fire during a Frankish attack.

Uwe, thank you so much for pointing out these resources. I was able to find passable translations of the websites but I'm afraid I'd need to find a transcript for the videos although I have a good idea what the narrator is discussing.

I must admit I am surprised by the use of an iron nozzle instead of bronze fittings.

Thanks,
Reply
