After reading Alan Montgomery’s book about the Antonine Wall I’m thinking of visiting the Hunterian - the oldest public museum in Scotland - at University of Glasgow to see their many resources about that Roman Monument- now a World Heritage Site

It was lovely to see homage to the Hunterian Museum’s Evelyn Tables in @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein. These four tables were made in Padua, taking arteries, veins and nerves dissected in Padua’s famous anatomical theatre, pasting them to boards and varnishing them to protect and preserve
