	Arbeia Brief History
		Arbeia Roman Fort was to overlook the mouth of the River Tyne and become one of the busiest Roman port sites in England.
		The source for the grain which came from outside Arbeia is not known and locally produced grain would not have been of the required quantity.
		Arbeia as a name is mentioned in the Notitia Dignitatum and is almost certainly tied to South Shields.

	Guardian \| When Iraqi peacekeepers stood guard at Hadrian's Wall
		Arbeia was a supply base for the 17 forts along Hadrian's Wall, with supplies transported to the fort by boat.
		One of the most significant archeaological finds at Arbeia is a tombstone of a British woman married to one Barates - who came from Palmyra, in Syria.
		There were also Numidians (from modern Algeria) at Carlisle in the late second and early third centuries, and a crack team of Batavian (modern Dutch) horsemen at the frontier - all part of numerous auxiliaries of the Roman army posted far from home.

	Arbeia - 'The Place of the Arabs' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Arbeia is thought to be a Latinised form of a name originally from Aramaic - the native language of the last attested unit stationed at the fort - meaning 'the Place of the Arabs'.
		Originally built during the reign of Hadrian c.AD129, Arbeia was the easternmost garrison fort of Hadrian's Wall, guarding a small seaport on the south bank of the Tyne Estuary near its outlet into the North Sea at South Shields.
		The fort appears to have been temporarily abandoned towards the end of the third century, and not re-used until the end of the fourth, when Arbeia seems again to have been put to use as a storehouse, with its contents being shipped periodically inland along the course of the River Tyne and its tributaries.

	The Arbeia Society
		The society actively took part in excavations at Arbeia throughout the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s, and in 1974 it was this society which safeguarded the future of Arbeia Roman Fort by petitioning the local government to protect the site from commercial development.
		In the summer of 1991 it was suggested that a society should be established at Arbeia to address the growing interest in the archaeological work that was taking place there, so on the 1st January 1992 the Arbeia Society was established, with Quinta absorbed into the society as its re-enactment wing.
		During 1996 the Arbeia Society merged with the South Shields Archaeological and Historical Society.

	Arbeia Roman Fort and Museum - Review - At The Edge of the World
		The fort, which was built in the AD 160s, served as a garrison for cavalry troops and later as a supply base during Emperor Septimius Severus' campaigns against the Caledonian tribes.
		More wall displays relate the fort’s decline in during the Dark Age, continuing through the Anglo-Saxon period when stone was quarried from the ruins and South Shields, once the main port of entry to the Roman Empire in Britain, became a seasonal settlement of fishermen's huts.
		The most striking exhibits are the post-Roman skeletons of two men who were killed by blows to the back of the head and left in the open for animals to gnaw on.

		The British Archaeological Award has gone to the Earthwatch Institute for its 12 years of support for excavations at Arbeia in South Shields.
		Earthwatch science and research manager Nathaniel Spring said: "The Arbeia Roman Fort project has allowed Earthwatch volunteers from all over the world to play a hands-on role in the largest ever investigation of a Roman military site, and we hope that it will continue long into the future."
		The discovery of a multi-period prehistoric site underneath the Roman remains, in particular Neolithic evidence and the well-preserved Iron Age round house interior, is of international importance, while the excavation of a series of third century Roman Barrack buildings produced some of the most complete and best preserved plans ever recovered.

	ARBEIA
		AD129, Arbeia was the easternmost garrison fort of Hadrian's Wall, guarding a small seaport on the south bank of the Tyne Estuary near its outlet into the North Sea at South Shields.
		A substantial stone-built fort such as that at Arbeia would have required specialised engineering skills which were only available in the highly-trained soldiers in the Roman legions, and not possessed by the auxiliary units which were to garisson the fort.
		The original cavalry units were replaced in the Severan period by a one-thousand trong infantry unit Cohors V Gallorum, who were possibly withdrawn from Cramond on the Forth.

		Human activity in the vicinity of the fort here at Arbeia is estimated to go back as far as 3000-4000 years BC and an Iron Age farmstead has recently been discovered during excavations which dates to the third century BC.
		As at Segedunum farming must have continued up until the start of the Roman occupation and even settlements by the locals did not stop the Roman progression.
		The fort continued to be used even after the Romans left and was certainly being utilised well into the Anglo-Saxon period.

		I haven’t been there for years, but it used to be a fairly regular starting point for a good walk.
		After a brief visit to the Arbeia Roman Fort, I started my usual walk over the cliff-top path that leads to the really quite splendid Souter Lighthouse, passing by the not-quite-as-splendid as it used to be Marsden Rock.
		After a tour of the lighthouse, I stopped for a late lunch and a pot of Earl Grey tea (it just seemed like the right thing to have).
