ALL hail Lucius Valerius Geminus.
It is staggering the way that archaeologists and historians have managed to piece together the story of a Roman soldier now confirmed as the first identifiable resident of the county.
Maybe old Lucius wasn’t the most significant character to stride across history but this discovery just goes to show we can all leave our mark for an intrepid investigator to one day unearth.
