Pontis captured the public's imagination both locally and nationally. Tyne & Wear Museums collaborated with North Tyneside Arts and Nexus, the body that runs the Tyne & Wear Metro system, who had jointly commissioned artist Michael Pinsky to create a permanent contemporary art project linking Wallsend Metro Station with nearby Segedunum, the Roman fort at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall.
This witty and engaging project included installations at the Metro station, Latin and English signs (Noli Fumare - No Smoking); even the local job centre was re-named Forum Venalicium (slave market)!
