A beautifully produced account of the history and importance of
Hadrian's Wall, by a bestselling author and expert on Ancient Rome.
Located at the far-flung and wild edge of the Roman Empire,
Hadrian's Wall was constructed by Emperor Hadrian in the 120s AD.
Vast in size and stretching from the east to the west coast of the
northern part of Britannia, it is the largest monument left by the
Roman empire - all the more striking because it lies so far from
Rome. Today, it is one of the most visited heritage sites in the
country. Yet the story of the Wall is far more than the development
of a line of fortifications and the defence of a troublesome
imperial frontier. Generation after generation of soldiers served
there, with their families as well as traders and other foreign and
local civilians in and around the army bases. The glimpses of this
vibrant, multinational community in Adrian Goldsworthy's masterly
book bring the bare stones to life. Goldsworthy also considers why
and how the wall was built, and discusses the fascinating history,
afterlife and archaeology of this unique ancient monument.
