Drought Reveal Roman Camp In Spain

[Martin Smith]

This popped up on fb today, on the subject of the submerged Roman castra....:-

" According to the comments in the original post, this caption is misleading. It's only been underwater since a reservoir project in 1949, and has been exposed intermittently since 2003".

" It is in Galicia, it is normally under water, it has been exposed by the recent drought, and the 2000 year old walls are still standing. "

Also, aerial pic of 'normal state' was added..but I'm struggling to resize it to < 5KB as an attachment.

the 2000 year old walls are still standing.

This is a bit like saying the walls of Housesteads are still standing.  These are clearly excavated remains consolidated by an antiqities service at some point.
