EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Hadrian's Wall: Walltown Crags, Northumberland" 2. Description: This evocative reconstruction drawing by Alan Sorrell, from the Historic England Photo Library, transports us back in time to the Roman Empire's northernmost frontier. Hadrian's Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretches over 73 miles (117 kilometers) across northern England, marking the boundary between the Roman-controlled territories and the lands of the northern tribes. 3. Background: The wall was commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 122 to defend against the incursions of the Picts and other Caledonian tribes. Constructed primarily of stone, it was a formidable defensive structure, complete with forts, milecastles, and watchtowers. 4. Scene: In this illustration, we find ourselves at Walltown Crags, a section of the wall located in Northumberland, England. The crags' rugged terrain, dotted with heather and grasses, provides a dramatic backdrop to the wall's imposing presence. The wall's intricate details are on full display, from the large, rectangular blocks of stone to the narrow, arched gateways. 5. Defensive Features: The wall's defensive features are evident in this illustration. The tall, crenelated parapet, designed to provide cover for archers and soldiers, is clearly visible. Additionally, the wall's width, which varied between 3.6 and 6.1 meters, allowed for multiple layers of defense, including a ditch and a secondary wall in some areas. 6. Preservation: Today, Hadrian's Wall remains an important symbol of Roman engineering and military might. The wall's preservation is ongoing, with organizations like Historic England working to protect and promote the site for future generations. This illustration, with its intricate details and historical accuracy, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Hadrian's Wall and the Roman Empire.
