Description

Explore the history of one of the most important ancient monuments in the British Isles with Hadrian's Wall: A Life. Published by Oxford University Press, this work by Richard Hingley examines the post-Roman history of this world-famous structure. Constructed during the 120s AD under the orders of Emperor Hadrian, the Wall served as a Roman frontier for almost three centuries before its operations ceased in the fifth century.
