Geocache Description:

A series of caches on a circular walk from Braco, numbered clockwise (dexter) but you can do them anyway you like..
The series cache titles (titulus) and description (genus) reflect the historical Roman importance of this area.
We had to have a wee dig at the Romans, though....after all what did they do for us???


Climate change can impact on history as easily as the Squirell can gather nuts.

When empires rise and fall and plagues sweep over the land, people have traditionally cursed the stars. But perhaps they should blame the weather.

An extensive study of tree growth rings suggests that mild summers may have been the key to the rise of the Roman Empire—and that prolonged droughts, cold snaps, and other climate changes might have played a part in historical upheavals, from the barbarian invasions that brought about Rome's collapse. Further, there could be a link between the rise and fall of past civilisations and sudden shifts in Europe's climate. The researchers found that political turmoil occurred during times of climate instability. Wet and warm summers occurred during periods of Roman and medieval prosperity. Increased climate variability from 250-600 AD coincided with the demise of the western Roman empire and the turmoil of the migration period. Distinct drying in the 3rd Century paralleled a period of serious crisis in the western Roman empire marked by barbarian invasion, political turmoil and economic dislocation.

Are there any Squirells up there?????
