Exhibition 'Set in Stone' in Arbeia Roman Fort and Museum

This new permanent display, through many of the larger items found on site, tells the story of the people who not only built the Fort in AD 160, but also of those who lived and died at the Fort when it guarded the entrance to the River Tyne and became the military supply base for forts along Hadrian’s Wall.

Star objects include one of the finest Roman tombstones in Britain.

     South Shields
    The Arbeia Roman Fort, situated in South Shields, Tyne and Wear, England, is a significant historical site. This ancient Roman fort was a part of the Hadrian's Wall system, marking the eastern end on the Tyne estuary. Founded around 160 AD, the fort guarded the main sea access to Hadrian's Wall and later became the wall's maritime supply fort. It was occupied until the Romans left Britain in the 5th century.
