Published in 1984, this book contains much that is still valid, including drawings, diagrams, etc. Archaeologists have discovered more finds since, though, e.g., the Vindolanda Tablets [only one photo of one of the Tablets--no explanation that I can see]. The 400 breath-taking full color illustrations are unusual and absolutely spectacular! These are the high point of the book. I did not read straight through, but paged where my interest took me.

All three Roman legions stationed in Britainnia, II Augusta, VI Victrix and XX Valeria Victrix, participated in constructing the wall, identifying their work for posterity by means of inscriptions along its length. Built entirely of stone (an initial turf section in the west was replaced with stone by AD 158), the wall averaged eight feet thick and 15 feet high. A large ditch 27 feet wide and 10 feet deep ran along the northern face. Every Roman mile was marked by a gated opening guarded by a small fortlet called a "milecastle." The wall was of span 76 Roman miles between York and Chester. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
