Frontiers of the Roman Empire: Hadrian''s Wall

Hadrian's Wall, a monumental Roman frontier spanning 117 km with extensions and comprising stone walls, turf ramparts, towers, fortlets, and forts, stands as a testament to the strategic and defensive capabilities of the Roman Empire. This series of books provides an accessible summary of Hadrian's Wall while contextualizing it within the broader narrative of Roman frontiers, which stretch across 20 countries and encapsulate one of history's greatest ancient states. The wall, constructed under Emperor Hadrian to separate Romans from 'barbarians,' was a complex military installation that took years to build and remained in development until Hadrian's death in 138 AD. The publication combines historical insights with archaeological findings, offering both an informative guide for visitors and a comprehensive overview of the Roman frontier's significance.
