Hadrian’s Wall: A History of Archaeological Thought

Interpretations of the function and history of Hadrian’s Wall have been offered for 1,800 years. In this book, David Breeze considers these interpretations in order to understand how our present beliefs have been acquired, and to understand why we interpret Hadrian’s Wall in the way that we do.

He undertakes this by examining eleven topics which illuminate our understanding of this great Roman frontier.
