TRIMONTIUM

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 284 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRIMONTIUM , the name of a Roman fort at Newstead, near Melrose,
Scotland
 , close under the three Eildon Hills (whence the name trium montium). It was an advanced post of the Romans towards
Scotland
  both about 8o A.D. and after, and again (after an
interval
  of evacuation) from about A.D. 140-180. Excavations during the last four years have yielded finds of almost unique importance. These include the
foundations
  of several successive forts, one above the other, which throw much light on the
character
  of the Roman military post; an unparalleled collection of Roman
armour
 , including ornate helmets, and a good
series
  of coins and datable pottery. The whole illustrate the history of the Roman army and that of Roman Scotland very remarkably and to an extent equalled by no Scottish site as yet explored.
See the report published for the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland by the excavator Mr James
Curie
 . (F. J. H.)
