How the Interpretation Framework has been developed 6.1 Responding to issues and opportunities 19 6.2 Tasks undertaken 19 iii Foreword Foreword This document sets out an interpretation framework for the "natural and cultural landscape of Hadrian’s Wall” – the secondary interpretive theme associated with the Hadrian’s Wall element of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site (WHS). A complementary document sets out a similar framework for the “north-west frontier of the Roman Empire” – the primary theme for the Hadrian’s Wall WHS. These themes are summarised and brought together in a third linking Overview and Summary document that sets out a vision to co-ordinate interpretation and audience development across the 150 miles of urban and rural landscape that constitute the Hadrian’s Wall WHS. The Interpretation Framework has been developed by Hadrian’s Wall Heritage Limited (HWHL) with the support of two steering groups1. It has involved extensive stakeholder consultation, site visits, review of existing interpretation and exploration of interpretive principles, themes and techniques that aim to broaden the potential of the WHS to engage with existing and new audiences. As is explained in the document, the term “framework” is used very deliberately to describe a flexible approach that sets out guidelines to inform interpretation and audience development. The Interpretation Framework develops an overarching thematic plan supported by practical guidelines. These guidelines are not prescriptive; instead, they are intended to help the many different organisations with an interest in Hadrian’s Wall, from local authorities and national agencies to community groups and private landowners, develop approaches to interpreting the WHS and its landscape in coherent, complementary and differentiated ways that will enhance and deepen the visitor experience of Hadrian’s Wall for a wide range of audiences. The Interpretation Framework is an advocacy and guidance document which draws on extensive audience research, on best practice and on extensive consultation with stakeholders. The primary objective of the Interpretation Framework is to encourage adoption of the highest quality interpretation designed to meet audience needs across the WHS. High quality interpretation underpins the development of a world- class, differentiated, complementary and cohesive visitor offer along Hadrian’s Wall. This in turn will improve connectivity between sites, encourage multi-site visiting, increase dwell time and improve ticket sales and income generation for all. As a guidance document, formal endorsement by the various partners and stakeholders across the WHS is not anticipated. HWHL understand that some of the research results and subsequent recommendations in the Interpretation Framework may generate areas for discussion. The findings and recommendations are however research-led and provide an invaluable resource for use by all partners in working together to transform visitor understanding and appreciation of the WHS over the short, medium and long term. 1 Steering Groups: Theme 1 – north-west frontier of the Roman Empire: Professor Peter Stone – University of Newcastle, Bill Griffiths – Manager, north-east museums hub, Nigel Mills – HWHL, Linda Tuttiett HWHL.

This preserved of the frontiers of the Roman Empire. Today, Hadrian’s Wall is arguably the most celebrated recognises the fundamental relationship between people and their environment. element of the transnational Frontiers of the Roman Empire WHS inscribed in 2005 and currently comprising Hadrian’s Wall, the German Limes and the Antonine Wall. The Hadrian’s Wall element This Interpretation Framework has been developed in the light of the 2007 European Landscape extends over 118km and includes the Wall itself with directly associated features, the frontier defences Convention (ELC). This is the first international convention dedicated exclusively to the protection, extending down the Cumbrian coast and several outpost forts to the north. management and planning of all landscapes in Europe. One of the convention’s specific measures is to raise awareness of the value of landscapes among all sectors of society, and of society’s role in shaping 1.2 Outstanding Universal Value them. The UK is already putting many of the principles of the ELC into practice. Natural England, Defra and A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place that is inscribed by UNESCO as having outstanding universal English Heritage have produced a first framework for implementing the ELC in England. This recognises value (OUV) and each site has its own statement explaining this OUV. The OUV for the Frontiers of that our distinctive landscapes contribute to our identity and reflect local cultural influences as well the Roman Empire and Hadrian’s Wall derives exclusively from the scope, scale, technological, and as ecological diversity, which is reflected in the National Character Area (NCAs) map of England, a organisational achievement of the Romans represented by the Frontiers, reflecting the unifying impact of fundamental tool in the development of this Interpretation Framework. their Empire on the wider Mediterranean world. Although the wider cultural and natural environment does not contribute to the World Heritage Site’s OUV, it is an important part of the interpretation offer for visitors. The cultural and natural environment therefore forms a part of an overarching Interpretation Framework for the Hadrian’s Wall WHS, and is recognised in this secondary natural and cultural landscape Interpretation Framework document. 2 1 An Interpretation Framework for the natural and cultural landscape of theInterpretation Hadrian’s Wall Framework World Heritage Site 1.4 Defining the "natural and cultural landscape of Hadrian’s Wall"

  • 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.

  • 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.
