To help reduce the wear and tear on the ground, please walk side by side instead of single file and try to avoid walking in worn lines.

  • 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 .

Introducción radicionalmente, las investigaciones sobre las edificaciones termales han estado en estrecha relación con ambientes civiles y, en general, con aquellos conjuntos más Tespectaculares, como por ejemplo las termas de Ca- racalla o las de Diocleciano en Roma. Como conse- cuencia de ello, en el imaginario popular se han im- plantado unas estampas excesivamente evocadoras de emperadores seguidos por interminables séquitos disfrutando de los frugales placeres de la vida. En épocas pasadas, pintores como Lawrence Alma-Ta- dema (1836-1912), plasmaban en sus lienzos escenas un tanto oníricas que contribuían a difundir una ima- gen un tanto irreal del pasado de la Ciudad Eterna e, incluso, hoy, la vida militar de los romanos, en pa- labras de Carrié, garantiza el éxito de “anacronistas” de profesión, ingenuos cineastas de cine o maliciosos autores Figura 2. “A Favourite Custom” (1909), óleo sobre tabla, de Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
