The things those Romans did for us, roads, sanitation, bread and circuses... I don't remember metal utility boxes being on that list though.
Not a milestone, as the full size image confirms:

Not all markers are Roman 😉 There are loads of lists of these kinds of markers online - easy to check, but I'd only accept ones that are easy to find and unique looking. I think in general they're pretty interesting tbh 😁
ReplyDeleteLittle known fact the Romans were the first civilization to provide an electricity grid to its citizens.
ReplyDeleterosie morland yes, legitimate mile markers are often listed making it easy to confirm their existence and location. I too would give them a reasonable rating.
ReplyDeleteThis sad metal box with a few scratched off stickers next to a modern wall at the back of a house gets a one star coal rating.
