Sommario/riassunto

In this important and beautifully illustrated book, David Breeze elucidates the context of the most famous frontier, Hadrian's Wall. The zone to north and south of the Wall was a heavily militarised landscape of roads, bridges, forts, fortlets and towers, but also the towns, settlements and supply infrastructure on which the army depended.
