Fort romain de Vindobala
Vindobala est un fort romain du Northumberland en Angleterre situé sur le territoire de Heddon-on-the-Wall qui fit partie de la seizième chaîne fortifiée du mur d'Hadrien et en protégeait la partie orientale. Le camp fut probablement utilisé par l'armée de 122 à 400 apr. J.-C., avec une interruption plus longue. Le site de fouilles est devenu célèbre au niveau national pour un mithraeum et une citerne romaine. Malgré son mauvais état de conservation, le site a livré plusieurs découvertes archéologiques importantes, qui ont fourni des informations précieuses sur la vie à la frontière nord de la Grande-Bretagne.
