Field Trip: Roman Barcino



Our first field study was to the ancient Roman city of Barcino dating back to 12 B.C. This field trip was my favorite of all the field studies I've taken part in. I find Roman history to be the most fascinating because of how technologically advanced they were for their time and how well they lived. These photos above first show the column building techniques of the period and second the pottery skills for eating and storing food during the period.


The photo on the left shows how the ancient Romans made dies for their clothing and the photo on the right shows the massive basins for making "Garum" a fermented fish sauce that was used on fish during the period.
