EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the second or third century, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of Roman soldiers stationed along Hadrian's Wall. The reconstruction line drawing depicts a group of off-duty soldiers relaxing inside a turret, their weapons neatly stacked nearby. Created by the talented artist Philip Corke between 1985 and 2000, this illustration showcases his meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of Roman military life. The scene is filled with an air of camaraderie as these soldiers engage in various activities during their downtime. Some can be seen engaged in conversation while others indulge in leisurely pursuits such as playing dice or enjoying simple meals together. Their distinctive Roman attire adds authenticity to the depiction, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into this ancient world. Corke's artwork not only captures the physical appearance but also conveys the spirit and essence of these brave men who dedicated their lives to protecting Hadrian's Wall. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our rich historical heritage and offers us an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us. As we admire this remarkable piece, let it transport us back through time, enabling us to appreciate both the grandeur and everyday aspects of life within one of history's most iconic structures - Hadrian's Wall.
