Summary

Description
English: Newstead Millennium Milestone — in Newstead, Scottish Borders.
  • A pink granite column at the east end of the village erected in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium, and designed in the form of a Roman milestone due to the proximity of the Roman fort at Trimontium.
  • The inscription on the Newstead milestone reads:
TRIMONTIVM
CAPVT VIAE
ANNO DOMINI
2000
The grandeur
that was Rome
  • Every Roman mile marched by the soldiers consisted of 1000 double paces. CAPVT VIAE - the head of the road - indicates the place from which the distances on milestones were measured. From the 500 miles of Roman roads in Scotland, only one Roman milestone has been found (at Ingleston in Edinburgh), a buff sandstone pillar about 1.5m high and now in the museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
