Hadrian, Building the wall
Hadrian, Building the wall
Building the wall In AD 122, the Emperor Hadrian visited Britain.
From London he probably came to the far North of England, to one of the remotest points of the Roman Empire.
Here he built what is now a World Heritage site.
He built this wall.
Hadrian's Wall.
With his wall, he left us one of the great monuments of Roman History.
The reason for its creation is key to understanding Hadrian's reign.
Hadrian inherited an empire that suffered from serious problems of over-stretch. and one of his first big tasks was to fix the limits of the Empire that Rome could control.
He fixed it in Germany, Syria, North Africa and here in Northumberland, on the borders between England and Scotland with its greatest of all surviving Hadrianic Boundaries.
Hadrian's Wall.
This great stone fort you see here on the edge of the Empire: the northern edge of the world.
An empire that ran from here to Egypt.
Hadrian's Wall wasn't a simple defensive barrier.
It was a brutally efficient security installation that allowed a very efficient military and economic control of the area here.
Because of ongoing trouble and warfare, they had to be much more efficient and they built this huge structure.
Three Legions were involved over many years. A lot of man power.
It's a huge achievement.
An engineering achievement.
The wall is 80 miles long.
It stretches from Bowness-on-Solway to the River Tyne.
Originally only to Newcastle, and then extended right the way to Wall's End on the Tyne Estuary.
We are on Hotbank Crags and in-between a couple of Mile Castles.
The little garrisons of maybe 20-30 men who originally were intended to look after Hadrian's Wall.
Walking along this wall you get some idea of what the Romans were up against in garrisoning something like this.
Thinking about what the function of that wall might be.
Controlling movement.
This is what the Mile Castles were for.
If you look at the many walls that go up in the world today, we can get a sense of the original intention behind Hadrian's Wall.
It was a very aggressive symbol and also a very efficient practical tool of Roman dominance.
And this is only one of the borders of the Empire.
This was built all in stone and therefore seems now very impressive, But there was the Limes in Germany and a similar sort of border in Northern Africa.
It went all around the Empire and that is very impressive.
