About this audio guide
This guide to the reconstructed north gate of Mamucium, the Roman fort in Manchester's Castlefield, starts around the year one hundred and eighty with one person and a broken piece of a storage jar. It turns on how soldiers and villagers on the edge of the empire filled their time, and on a five-word Latin puzzle that still divides scholars. Stand facing the rebuilt gate and walls to hear it.
