Map 9 Britannia Inferior Compiled by A.S. Esmonde-Cleary, 1996 with the assistance of R. Warner (Ireland) Introduction Any map of this part of Roman Britain is inevitably concerned with the shifting limits of Roman military control in the north. All study of Roman intervention in this area has been heavily biased in favor of military sites and their exploration. Thus its priorities, reflected by the map, are rather different from those set for research into the Roman presence further south in Britain. In addition, the relative scarcity of some types of site common further south (towns and villas especially) contributes to giving this map a very different aspect to Britannia Superior (Map 8), but an aspect that nonetheless reflects real and important contrasts. So far as can be determined, there have been no significant changes between the Roman period and the present day in coastline or other physical topographic aspects, despite continuing post-glacial eustatic and isostatic adjustment of the relative levels of land and sea. The map displays essentially three major episodes in the Roman occupation of northern Britain. The southern part is compiled on the same principles as Map 8. Thus the military sites shown are the long-lived garrison forts, the forts of Hadrian’s Wall, and the “outpost” forts of the Wall in Northumberland and south-west Scotland. The fourth-century “signal stations” on the Yorkshire coast are likewise marked. There are also the few towns in the north, and the scatter of villas lying north of York. This part of the map is therefore directly comparable with, and a northern continuation of, its southern neighbor. The part of the map covering Scotland reflects rather different criteria, particularly as regards site longevity. Much shorter-lived military sites are shown here, in part because of the intrinsic importance of the military campaigns which they represent. In part, too, their inclusion recognizes the labor which has been expended over the years in their location and excavation, and in the reconstruction of the successive phases of Roman failure to conquer Scotland. Two major phases of Roman incursion northwards can be seen. First, the Antonine Wall of the mid- second century A.D. and the forts held in the Lowlands at that time; second, to the north of the line of the later Antonine Wall, the aftermath of Agricola’s campaigns in the 80s A.D. For the latter, the legionary fortress of Inchtuthil (ancient Victoria?) and the associated “glen-blocking” forts are shown; some of the Lowland forts, too, were first occupied at this time. None of the numerous “marching camps” (temporary campaign fortifications) known from Scotland, and linked with more or less certainty to various known Roman campaigns, has been shown. The Severan campaigns of the early third century are represented by the base at Carpow. Even more than in the case of Map 8, the omission of native-style “farmsteads” gives a very “empty” look to much of the map. The reasons for this choice are explained in the Introduction to Map 8. The omission, however, by no means signifies that much of the area covered was uninhabited. On the contrary, the tribal names certify that it was. Equally notable is the paucity of sites beyond the frontiers. There is Roman material known from native sites in Scotland and Ireland, but for the most part it is potsherds and trinkets (for Ireland, see further the Introduction to Map 2). Again, the contrast in this respect with frontier regions elsewhere (the Danube lands, for example) is real and instructive. 128 MAP 9 BRITANNIA INFERIOR Directory All place names are in the United Kingdom unless otherwise noted Abbreviation TIR BritSep Tabula Imperii Romani, Britannia Septentrionalis, London, 1987 Names Grid Name Period Modern Name / Location Reference D6 Aballava RL Burgh-by-Sands Daniels 1978, 247-48; TIR BritSep 13 C6 ‘Abraouannos’? fl.

    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 .

    The Antonine Wall, the Roman Frontier in Scotland, Was the Most and Northerly Frontier of the Roman Empire for a Generation from AD 142

    Breeze The Antonine Wall, the Roman frontier in Scotland, was the most and northerly frontier of the Roman Empire for a generation from AD 142. Hanson It is a World Heritage Site and Scotland’s largest ancient monument. The Antonine Wall Today, it cuts across the densely populated central belt between Forth (eds) and Clyde. In The Antonine Wall: Papers in Honour of Professor Lawrence Keppie, Papers in honour of nearly 40 archaeologists, historians and heritage managers present their researches on the Antonine Wall in recognition of the work Professor Lawrence Keppie of Lawrence Keppie, formerly Professor of Roman History and Wall Antonine The Archaeology at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow University, who spent edited by much of his academic career recording and studying the Wall. The 32 papers cover a wide variety of aspects, embracing the environmental and prehistoric background to the Wall, its structure, planning and David J. Breeze and William S. Hanson construction, military deployment on its line, associated artefacts and inscriptions, the logistics of its supply, as well as new insights into the study of its history. Due attention is paid to the people of the Wall, not just the ofcers and soldiers, but their womenfolk and children. Important aspects of the book are new developments in the recording, interpretation and presentation of the Antonine Wall to today’s visitors. Considerable use is also made of modern scientifc techniques, from pollen, soil and spectrographic analysis to geophysical survey and airborne laser scanning. In short, the papers embody present- day cutting edge research on, and summarise the most up-to-date understanding of, Rome’s shortest-lived frontier.

Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH ANTONINE WALL – CASTLECARY FORT BRIEF DESCRIPTION The property is part of the Antonine Wall and contains the remains of a Roman fort and annexe with a stretch of Antonine Wall to the north-east of the fort. The Edinburgh-Glasgow railway cuts across the south section of the fort while modern buildings disturb the north-east corner of the fort and ditch. The Antonine Wall is a linear Roman frontier system of wall and ditch accompanied at stages by forts and fortlets, linked by a road system, stretching for 60km from Bo’ness on the Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde. It is one of only three linear barriers along the 2000km European frontier of the Roman Empire. These systems are unique to Britain and Germany. CHARACTER OF THE MONUMENT Historical Overview Archaeological finds indicate the site was used during the Flavian period (AD 79- 87/88). Antonine Wall construction initiated by Emperor Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161) after a successful campaign in AD 139/142 by the Governor of Britain, Lollius Urbicus.

  • Roman Lead Sealings

    Roman Lead Sealings

    Roman Lead Sealings VOLUME I MICHAEL CHARLES WILLIAM STILL SUBMITTED FOR TIlE DEGREE OF PILD. SEPTEMBER 1995 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY (L n") '3 1. ABSTRACT This thesis is based on a catalogue of c. 1800 records, covering over 2000 examples of Roman lead sealings, many previously unpublished. The catalogue is provided with indices of inscriptions and of anepigraphic designs, and subsidiary indices of places, military units, private individuals and emperors mentioned on the scalings. The main part of the thesis commences with a history of the use of lead sealings outside of the Roman period, which is followed by a new typology (the first since c.1900) which puts special emphasis on the use of form as a guide to dating. The next group of chapters examine the evidence for use of the different categories of scalings, i.e. Imperial, Official, Taxation, Provincial, Civic, Military and Miscellaneous. This includes evidence from impressions, form, texture of reverse, association with findspot and any literary references which may help. The next chapter compares distances travelled by similar scalings and looks at the widespread distribution of identical scalings of which the origin is unknown. The first statistical chapter covers imperial sealings. These can be assigned to certain periods and can thus be subjected to the type of analysis usually reserved for coins. The second statistical chapter looks at the division of categories of scalings within each province. The scalings in each category within each province are calculated as percentages of the provincial total and are then compared with an adjusted percentage for that category in the whole of the empire.

In each list there is an account of each attested centurion which concentrates on the date and the context of the inscription. Multiple centurionate careers are cross-referenced into the relevant chapters of Volume one. At the end of each chronological list there is a chronologically ordered spread-sheet giving name, reference, date, origin, findspot and any further noteworthy information. At the end of the chronologically ordered spread-sheet there is an alphabetically ordered spread-sheet giving the same information. Centurions named on lead seals and graffiti- are only mentioned if the name is confirmed on a stone inscription from another place. I hope in the future to produce a complete list of centurions from sources other than stone. The legions omitted from the lists are those from the Greek speaking area of the Empire, plus III Augusta and VII Gemina which have both had lists of their centurions published in recent years. Again, I hope to produce a complete list of legionary centurions in the future.
