  • Vallo Di Adriano
    VALLO DI ADRIANO Il Vallo di Adriano Il V.d.A., certamente il più imponente tra i resti romani della Gran Bretagna, fu costruito per volere dello stesso imperatore Adriano, dopo una missione di quest’ultimo nella provincia conclusasi nel 122 d.C., con lo scopo dichiarato di tracciare una divisione tra i Romani e le popolazioni barbare. Il V.d.A. è stato oggetto di approfondite indagini, ma sono molti gli aspetti ancora da chiarire. Una prima linea di frontiera, in realtà, esisteva già lungo la via di Stanegate, a 1 km circa dal tracciato del vallo. Questa demarcazione era sorta durante il regno di Traiano (98-117 d.C.) e comprendeva una serie di fortifi cazioni e torri di guardia, con una palizzata e un fossato sul versante occidentale. Il centro di questo primo sistema difensivo era costituito dal forte di Vindolanda (Chesterholm), eretto poco prima del 90 d.C. Il sito ha restituito un ragguardevole numero di documenti scritti, oltre 600 dei quali a inchiostro su tavolette lignee e pertinenti al periodo traianeo, che hanno fornito preziose informazioni su quest’area di confine, in particolare riguardo agli aspetti pratici della vita militare, come il sistema di approvvigionamento, la consistenza della guarnigione, la corrispondenza. In essi compare anche un riferimento a un centurione di stanza a Luguvalium (Carlisle), posto a comando della regione. Questi documenti consentono di delineare dunque quello che dovette essere un primo approccio da parte dei Romani alla questione, relativamente nuova per l’area, dell’organizzazione di una linea di frontiera. Il vallo rappresentò, al confronto, un’impresa assai più sofisticata del problema in sé.

  • Through the Fireplace...* Inside
    CTYNE & WEAU R Building PresPOLAervation Trust NEWSLETTER Issue 2 AUTUMN 2017 Through the fireplace...* Hello and a very warm welcome to members, old and new, to this second issue of our newsletter, Cupola. As 2017 draws to a close, you find us at the end of our year long Transition Project, where we have taken time to look at ourselves in the mirror, as it were, and think about how we expand the Trust into new areas and larger projects. One of the key strands to achieving this is increasing our membership, and I'm delighted to say, we've welcomed record numbers of you to the Trust this year. The biggest number in 20 years! We need you, we value you and we want more of you, so do please tell your friends! Alongside Transition, we've been grappling with lead dust, saving retail heritage, and finding out how a roof truss can unlock a mystery. Meanwhile, Staiths Friends have discovered that dog shows, light installations and heritage all go rather well together. You can read all about that and more in this issue. Enjoy the newsletter, thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at a members' event soon. Yours, Kari Vickers , Deputy Manager. Back to the Wall Volunteer's Viewpoint This month's "wallists" are Virginia and Roger, two active members of the admirable Dunston Staiths Friends group, who are working closely with the Trust to sustain this iconic visitor attraction. We moved to the Staiths South Bank after they were closed for so long.
