The Large Amphitheater of Chester and Rome’s Fruitless Expansion Plan

The arenas built by the Romans are without a doubt their most notorious monuments. They were the scene of public executions, where combats between criminals, prisoners of war and slaves were held, and of course a stage for the violent gladiatorial contests. Located in every corner of the former Roman Empire, close to 250 amphitheaters have been found, with Britain claiming their fair share. The partial remains of the amphitheater found in the beautiful city of Chester was the largest in Britain and is now a protected monument.

Birr Castle, the Historic Jewel of Ireland’s County Offaly

Ireland is a nation with a rich and far-reaching heritage. From the Iron Age and into the Middle Ages, the country was shaped by numerous historic episodes. With a strong medieval heritage, Ireland is dotted with forts, old towns, and castles. Many are ruined, and only a few are in good condition and still in use. One such monument is Birr Castle, the traditional home of the Earls of Rosse, which is situated in County Offaly. The castle and the family boast a rich history, and are still thriving - after many centuries.

By Giving Up Sugar in Their Tea, British Women Helped End Slavery

Believe it or not, but by the 1700s, deciding whether or not to take sugar with your tea had become a political statement. While sugar-free diets are now all the rage, the motivations behind this health trend are a far cry from those of the anti-saccharites during the abolitionist sugar boycotts of Britain and North America.

Roskilde was at the heart of numerous Viking land and trading routes, exerting its influence over many miles and thousands of people. As such it has long attracted historians and archaeologists alike to this Viking world, lying 19 miles (30 kilometers) to the west of the modern-day capital Copenhagen and located at the south end of the Roskilde fjord, a south branch of Isefjord.

The home was owned by a young couple, residents of the historic Micklegate neighborhood. Luke Budworth, 29, and his wife Hazel Mooney, 26, had no idea how their life would change when they moved out of their one-bedroom apartment temporarily in December to do the renovations.
