EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the second-century Roman era, specifically to Hadrian's Wall. The reconstruction line drawing beautifully depicts two figures standing beside an inscribed building stone. These individuals could either be Roman soldiers or Romano-British workers, their costumes and features meticulously illustrated by Philip Corke. The setting of this particular stone is the south vallum wall at Benwell Vallum Crossing, near Benwell Roman Fort. This strategic location adds historical significance to the image, as it showcases a crucial part of Hadrian's Wall that once served as a formidable defense structure against invaders. Philip Corke's attention to detail shines through in this artwork, capturing the essence of ancient Rome with precision and skill. The graphic illustration brings life to these long-gone characters, allowing us to imagine their daily lives and roles within this grand architectural marvel. Dating from around 1985-2000, this print serves as a testament to Historic England's commitment to preserving our rich heritage. It invites viewers on a visual journey through time while reminding us of the remarkable engineering prowess exhibited by our ancestors.
