Built around AD122, Hadrian's Wall was guarded by the Roman army
for over three centuries and has left an indelible mark on the
landscape of northern Britain. It was a wonder of the ancient world
and is a World Heritage Site. Written by a leading archaeologist
who has excavated widely on the Wall, this is an authoritative yet
accessible treatment of the archaeological evidence. The book
explains why the expansion of the Roman empire ground to a halt in
remote northern Britain, how the Wall came to be built and the
purpose it was intended to serve. It is not a guidebook to the
remains, but an introduction to the Wall and the soldiers and
civilians, men, women and children, who once peopled the abandoned
ruins visited by tourists today.
