Hadrian's Wall has left an enduring legacy in the British landscape. Recent research has revealed its role in shaping the country's history, from fuelling violent upheaval to forging notions of English and Scottish nationhood. This book explores the everyday impact of the Wall over three centuries, shedding new light on its underexplored human story. The construction of Hadrian's Wall had a profound effect on the landscape, creating a hard border that brought dramatic change in its wake. The Roman soldiers who manned the wall were often recruited from occupied territories, bringing with them their own unique cultural perspectives. This book combines an archaeological analysis of the monument with an examination of its rich legacy and contemporary relevance. By examining the evidence, Matthew Symonds presents a reliable perspective on Hadrian's Wall, one that highlights both its historical significance and ongoing influence on our understanding of the past.
