Two thousand years ago, southern Scotland was part of a great
empire, the Roman Empire. About AD 140, a Roman army marched north
from what is now Northumbria and, 20 years after and over 100 miles
further north than Hadrian’s Wall, built a new frontier across
the Forth-Clyde isthmus. With reference to contemporary coins and
literary sources together with the archaeological remains,
inscriptions and sculpture from the Antonine Wall itself, David
Breeze explains the historical context for, and the creation of,
the fortifications. Stunning photography by David Henrie of
Historic Scotland illustrates all aspects of this most northerly
Roman frontier. These photographs help us to appreciate the
Antonine Wall in its landscape and allow us a visual explanation
for its construction almost 2000 years ago.
