To travel the length and breadth of the Roman empire, visiting as many Roman sites as possible.
The object attached to this bug is a piece of Roman tile used as an element in a floor mosaic. These fragments are called tesserae (sing. tessera). This particular one was found in a molehill at Blansby Park, near Pickering, N. Yorkshire, where a community archaeological and ecological project has recently been launched. Several hundred tesserae have been found in the surface soil here, indicating that the mosaic has probably been destroyed by ploughing.
Please take this travel bug to caches linked to Roman towns and archaeological sites all over the Roman Empire. As you can see from the map, this covered all of western Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, The Levant and the North African seaboard. Plenty of scope then ! – But please try to maintain the Roman link.
