The first part, illustrated by dozens of maps and diagrams, explains in clear jargon-free language the events leading to the building of Hadrian’s Wall, the main features of the Roman frontier, its impact on the area and its later history.

The second part takes the form of a photo-tour of all the most important sites along the Wall, with over 300 full colour photos. The individual sites are examined in detail, explaining what to look at and what the evidence means. In many cases, the individual features are ‘reconstructed’ over the photographs of their present day remains. There is also a guide to the museums along the Wall, short biographies of the Roman Emperors associated with Britain and a useful and sophisticated search facility.
