Hadrian's Wall: Milecastles, Turrets and the Curtain

Hadrian's Wall: Milecastles, Turrets and the Curtain

Archaeopress
2025
nidottu
This book contains four substantial studies scrutinising aspects of the evidence for the design and form of the curtain, milecastles and turrets of Hadrian’s Wall as preserved in the primary archaeological record. Together they constitute a fresh assessment of the original appearance of the Wall and its structures, a matter of long-running controversy since nowhere does any part of the Wall survive to full height. The nature of the top of the curtain, and the form of superstructures over milecastle gateways, are not simply structural details of merely academic interest: the contributors show that both have a profound impact on how we interpret the function of the linear barrier both in its initial conception and as used over three centuries by the Roman army.

Hadrian's Wall

SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF ROMAN STUDIES

Hadrian’s Wall is universally recognised as a Roman frontier monument par excellence, with its numerous attractions visited by over half-a-million tourists per annum and the archaeological study of the monument feeding into teaching and research around the world. The Wall occupies a leading role within the specialist area of Roman Frontier Studies, yet it still has so much more to offer. This volume presents a series of thematic case studies that are geographically focused on Hadrian’s Wall and the wider frontier zone, while also demonstrating how work in this region can advance understanding of core issues for Roman archaeology more generally. Each case study combines the latest research and thinking by specialists in their field, presented in an accessible format appropriate for enthusiasts, students, and professionals working in archaeology and/or Classics. As well as providing an overview of current thinking about the frontier, the volume focuses in on the Wall and its communities; the use of stone, from source to structure; evidence for conflict and violence; religion and belief, in life and death; aspects of material culture; and the Wall as a cultural phenomenon.

A wall to divide a country and spur it on to war Felix Appius Julianus is brought to Britain in the wake of the disastrous loss of the Ninth Legion Hispana, to command its replacement, the Sixth Legion Victrix. Centurion Valerius Silvanus, posted to the doomed Ninth and arriving only in time to learn of its destruction, is instead sent to the Sixth to help integrate the remaining soldiers of the disgraced legion. Meanwhile, new Emperor Hadrian, successor to Trajan who extended Rome's borders to their farthest reach, has ordered Britain's frontier pulled back to more a defensible line. A great wall, splitting the island in two, is commissioned. But the wall cuts across the middle of tribal land and is fiercely resented, and the ghosts, both living and dead, of the destroyed Ninth continue to plague the work, making both men wonder whether there are some things that cannot be kept out... A gripping tale of the origin of Rome's most powerful landmark in Britain, packed with action and adventure.

Explore the awe-inspiring history of Hadrian’s Wall, a monument to Roman ambition and a testament to the ever-shifting frontier of Britain. From its prehistoric roots, where Mesolithic hunter-gatherers built some of the earliest known structures, to the transformative Neolithic era of farming and territorial settlement, this land has long been shaped by human endeavour. Hadrian’s Wall itself marked the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire, stretching from Bowness-on-Solway to the Tyne, its imposing stone forts, milecastles, and turrets a display of military precision and imperial power. Designed to awe and control, the Wall not only defended Roman territory but also showcased the empire’s reach, planning, and engineering brilliance. Walk the rugged landscape, once the edge of civilization, with author John Sadler, and discover the forts, command posts, and battlements that stood against unconquered tribal lands beyond. A story of conquest, culture, and human ingenuity, Hadrian’s Wall reveals the remarkable people, places, and events that shaped this iconic frontier.

Following Hadrian: A Second-Century Journey Through the Roman Empire

Following Hadrian: A Second-Century Journey Through the Roman Empire

Elizabeth Speller

Oxford University Press
2003
sidottu
One of the greatest--and most enigmatic--Roman emperors, Hadrian stabilized the imperial borders, established peace throughout the empire, patronized the arts, and built an architectural legacy that lasts to this day: the great villa at Tivoli, the domed wonder of the Pantheon, and the eponymous wall that stretches across Britain. Yet the story of his reign is also a tale of intrigue, domestic discord, and murder. In Following Hadrian, Elizabeth Speller captures the fascinating life of Hadrian, ruler of the most powerful empire on earth at the peak of its glory. Speller displays a superb gift for narrative as she traces the intrigue of Hadrian's rise: his calculated marriage to Emperor Trajan's closest female relative, a woman he privately tormented; Trajan's suspicious deathbed adoption of Hadrian as his heir, a stroke some thought to be a post-mortem forgery; and the ensuing slaughter of potential rivals by an ally of Hadrian's. Speller makes brilliant use of her sources, vividly depicting Hadrian's bouts of melancholy, his intellectual passions, his love for a beautiful boy (whose death sent him into a spiral), and the paradox of his general policies of peace and religious tolerance even as he conducted a bitter, three-year war with Judea. Most important, the author captures the emperor as both a builder and an inveterate traveler, guiding readers on a grand tour of the Roman Empire at the moment of its greatest extent and accomplishment, from the barren, windswept frontiers of Britain to the teeming streets of Antioch, from the dangers of the German forest to the urban splendor of Rome itself.

Elizabeth Speller tells the story of the most powerful man on earth in the early part of the second century. The man who built Hadrian's Wall, the Pantheon in Rome, and, for himself, a nine hundred-room villa at Tivoli. Hadrian was a great but flawed Roman Emperor, an intellectual and patron of the arts but he was also melancholy, volatile and utterly ruthless. 'Wonderful and entrancing ... Anyone interested in the ancient world will want to read this book.' Literary Review'Following Hadrian offers a clear-headed and accessible narrative of Hadrian's wandering reign, informed and enlivened by some of the best modern work on the politics of the Roman Empire - which she manages to cast much more elegantly than most professional ancient historians themselves.'

When author and historian Bob Royalty fulfilled his dream to walk the Roman ruins of Hadrian's Wall, across northern England from the North Sea to the Irish Sea, he had no idea what he would find along the trail. But the weight of his father's suicide twenty-five years ago that very week was as heavy as his backpack. While testing himself against the physical strain of the 100-mile adventure, he grappled with the lasting grief of losing a father three months before his own son was born and his own failures in the years since. Why did his father kill himself? As the account of the walk unfolds, Royalty reflects upon his past personal experiences through the lenses of English and Roman history as well as religious and Biblical studies. This introspective travel memoir has much to offer those who seek to explore raw life experiences told with careful reflection and genuine warmth.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Fr hgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,7, Freie Universit t Berlin (Fachbereich Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften, Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut), Veranstaltung: Adoptivkaiser, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Einleitung Publius Aelius Hadrianus stammte aus der Folge der Adoptivkaiser. Er gelangte im Jahr 117 n. Chr. als Nachfolger Traians an die Spitze des R mischen Reiches und regierte fast einundzwanzig Jahre lang. Entgegen der erobernden und kriegerischen Bestrebungen seiner Vorg nger, war es Hadrians Anliegen f r Frieden und Eintracht zu sorgen. Er sicherte die Grenzen des Reiches und war in der Aus bung seines Amtes als Reisekaiser bekannt. Hinzu kommt, dass er ein Philhellene war. Aufgrund des Seltenheitswertes dieser Eigenschaft macht ihn dies f r wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen h chst interessant. In dieser Hausarbeit steht demnach Kaiser Hadrians Philhellenismus im Vordergrund. Ich m chte deren Auswirkung auf seine Politik ergr nden. Da dies jedoch ein zu gro es Arbeitsfeld einnehmen w rde, werde ich meine Ausf hrungen beschr nken. So werde ich nicht weiter auf seine Innenpolitik und die restliche Au enpolitik eingehen. Im Mittelpunkt meiner Untersuchungen wird die Erschaffung des Panhellenions als exemplum seiner Herrschaft stehen. Da wenige Quellen zu Kaiser Hadrian existieren, werde ich mich der Historia Romana von Cassius Dio als informationsreichste Hauptquelle zuwenden. Au erdem werde ich die Historia Augusta sowie die Inscriptiones Graecae f r meine Untersuchungen hinzuziehen. Im Verlauf der Arbeit werde ich zun chst auf den Philhellenismus des Kaiser eingehen. Daraufhin werde ich auf das Panhellenion im Speziellen bergehen. Hierf r werde ich dessen Gr ndung sowie die Mitglieder und Aufgaben betrachten. Folgend gehe ich auf die Auswirkungen und das Ende des Panhellenions ein. Anschlie end werde ich Kaiser Hadrians Politik gegen ber Griechenland n her betrachten. Zuletzt f hre i
