Pages: 11 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Every fact is checked against named source pages from English Heritage, the British Museum, the Vindolanda Trust and North East Museums (checked 29 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on the pack’s credits page. Where sources disagree, each version is shown with its source.

There are no photos in this pack: all drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Drawings are simplified impressions and plans, not reconstructions or scale plans, and not copied from any site plan, museum image or guidebook. Not affiliated with English Heritage, the National Trust, UNESCO or any museum. Their names, and the names of sites, are used only to identify the places and sources we describe.

Licence: personal use. Print as many copies as you need for yourself and your household. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For club, school or commercial use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
