Description
Hadrian's Wall: A Story of Roman Frontier Life
Set in one of Britain's most iconic landscapes, Hadrian's Wall tells the story of how this ancient structure was built and manned by Roman soldiers. Construction began around AD 122, after Emperor Hadrian inspected sites in person to mark out the line of his new frontier. The wall took several years to complete, with hundreds of legionaries from Chester, Caerleon and York marching north to quarry the stone.
This book explores what life was like on the Roman frontier, from the daily routines of soldiers to the impact of the Wall on the local population. It's a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in British history, and how it shaped the country we know today.
