Hadrian's Wall is probably the most spectacular memorial to the Roman Empire in Britain. It ran across hill and dale, from the mouth of the Tyne to the Solway Firth. Building the Wall was a massive engineering project. For over 250 years it stood as Rome's northern frontier.
Fully illustrated in color, this guidebook describes the life and landscape of the Wall and gives remarkable insight into Roman Military organization. All the principal sites open to the public are featured and illustrated. At the excavated forts and settlements self-guided tours are provided with plans. Many of the splendid objects to be seen in the museums are show in full color, as well as reconstructions of Roman life.
This guide has been written by David J. Breeze, an international authority in Roman studies.
