  • Roman Britain
    Roman Britain Hadrian s Wall - History Vallum Hadriani - Historia “ Having completely transformed the soldiers, in royal fashion, he made for Britain, where he set right many things and - the rst to do so - drew a wall along a length of eighty miles to separate barbarians and Romans. (The Augustan History, Hadrian 11.1)” Although we have much epigraphic evidence from the Wall itself, the sole classical literary reference for Hadrian having built the Wall is the passage above, wrien by Aelius Spartianus towards the end of the 3rd century AD. The original concept of a continuous barrier across the Tyne-Solway isthmus, was devised by emperor Hadrian during his visit to Britain in 122AD. His visit had been prompted by the threat of renewed unrest with the Brigantes tribe of northern Britain, and the need was seen to separate this war-like race from the lowland tribes of Scotland, with whom they had allied against Rome during recent troubles. Components of The Wall Hadrian s Wall was a composite military barrier which, in its nal form, comprised six separate elements; 1. A stone wall fronted by a V-shaped ditch. 2. A number of purpose-built stone garrison forti cations; Forts, Milecastles and Turrets. 3. A large earthwork and ditch, built parallel with and to the south of the Wall, known as the Vallum. 4. A metalled road linking the garrison forts, the Roman Military Way . 5. A number of outpost forts built to the north of the Wall and linked to it by road. 6. A series of forts and lookout towers along the Cumbrian coast, the Western Sea Defences .

  • 1 Humphry Davy in 1816
    Humphry Davy in 1816: Letters and the Lamp Sharon Ruston Lancaster University By 1816, not yet 40 years old, Humphry Davy had retired from his paid roles at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Board of Agriculture, and the Royal Society, after marrying the wealthy widow Jane Apreece and being awarded a knighthood. However the invention for which he is now best known was yet to come. When Robert Gray, rector of Bishopwearmouth, wrote to him on behalf of coal mine owners in the North East, asking him to turn his mind to the question of how to light mines safely, Davy responded with characteristic optimism and confidence. His response reveals his motive and agenda from the outset. He intended his contribution to be considered as theoretical, scientific knowledge for a higher purpose: “It will give me very great satisfaction if my chemical knowledge can be of any use in an enquiry so interesting to humanity” (letter from Davy to Robert Gray, August 3, 1815).1 In this essay I will discuss letters that demonstrate the lengths to which Davy went to maintain this view of his development of the miners’ safety lamp that became known as the “Davy lamp”. The forthcoming Collected Letters of Sir Humphry Davy edition will publish approximately one thousand letters not currently in the public domain. These letters will be of particular interest to Romantic-period literary scholars: they include letters to Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Maria Edgeworth, and Walter Scott; there are letters that discuss Byron and the scandalous circle at Geneva in 1816, and letters that demonstrate Davy’s poetic sensibility.

    EDITORIAL The Society owes an apology to many of its members. Over the past year, a large number of Journals have failed to reach their destination, or have been delivered very late, to the understandable annoyance of the supposed recipients.

We are very sorry indeed about the failures, which have created serious administrative and financial difficulties for the Society. Each year since the Society was formed, an index to the Journals has been prepared by Mr Dave Linley of Preston, Lancashire. This is a necessary and invaluable work in a Society such as this. Mr Linley has now decided he has done a long enough stint. I can fully appreciate his feelings. Working unseen from a town away from the Society's heartland, Dave deserves all our thanks for his splendid efforts. But we now need a replacement! Here is a chance for non local members to help the Society. If anyone would like to take on the task of indexing from Volume 16, I would be glad to hear from them.

To date, seventy States Parties have responded to the letters sent following the review of the individual files, in order to clarify the original intention of their nominations (or to submit appropriate cartographic documentation) for two hundred fifty-three World Heritage properties. This document presents fifty-five boundary clarifications received from twenty-five States Parties, as an answer to the Retrospective Inventory. Draft Decision: 36 COM 8D, see Point IV I. The Retrospective Inventory 1. The Retrospective Inventory, an in-depth examination of the Nomination dossiers available at the World Heritage Centre, ICOMOS and IUCN, was initiated in 2004, in parallel with the launching of the Periodic Reporting exercise in Europe, involving European properties inscribed on the World Heritage List in the period 1978 - 1998. The same year, the Retrospective Inventory was endorsed by the World Heritage Committee at its 7th extraordinary session (UNESCO, 2004; see Decision 7 EXT.COM 7.1).

  • A Kink in the Cosmography?
    A Kink in the Cosmography? One vital clue for deciphering Roman-era names is that the order of names in the Ravenna Cosmography is geographically logical. The unknown cosmographer appears to have taken names off maps and/or itineraries that were tolerably accurate, not up to modern cartographic standards, but good enough for Roman soldiers to plan their travels logically. An apparent exception to this logic occurs near Hadrian’s Wall, where RC’s sequence of names runs thus: ... Bereda – Lagubalium – Magnis – Gabaglanda – Vindolande – Lincoigla ... The general course is clear enough, looping up from the south onto the Stanegate road (which was built earlier than the actual Wall) and then going back south. Lagubalium must be Carlisle and Vindolande must be Chesterholm, so it seems obvious that Magnis was at Carvoran and Gabaglanda was at Castlesteads. The problem is that Carvoran lies east of Castlesteads, which would make RC backtrack and put a kink in its path across the ground. Most people will simply say “So what? Cosmo made a mistake. Or his map was wrong. Or the names were written awkwardly on his map.” But this oddity prompted us to look hard at the evidence for names on and around Hadrian’s Wall, as summarised in a table on the following page. How many of the name-to-place allocations accepted by R&S really stand up to critical examination? One discovery quickly followed (a better location for Axelodunum), but many questions remain. For a start, what was magna ‘great’ about the two places that share the name Magnis, Carvoran and Kenchester? Did that name signify something such as ‘headquarters’ or ‘supply base’ in a particular period? Could another site on the Stanegate between Carlisle and Castlesteads be the northern Magnis? The fort at Chapelburn (=Nether Denton, NY59576460) would reduce the size of the kink, but not eliminate it.
