Roman forts had a woman's touch
Author: Anna Salleh Source: ABC Science Online
Title: Roman forts had a woman's touch
Women lived and worked in Roman military forts, according to a telltale trail of lost hairpins and beads.
This dispels the notion the forts were male-only domains, says archaeologist Dr Penelope Allison of the Australian National University.

"These were not segregated communities," says Allison, who has been studying evidence from 1st and 2nd century forts on the western frontier of the Roman Empire.
