It is a comprehensive account of the famous Hadrian's Wall, which was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD to protect their territory in Britain from the barbarian tribes to the north. The book is based on two lectures given by Bruce, which were delivered to the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne.The book covers the history of the wall, its construction, and its purpose. It also discusses recent discoveries made by Bruce and other archaeologists in the area. The book provides a detailed description of the wall's structure, including its length, height, and the various features that were built into it to make it more effective as a defensive barrier.The Wall of Hadrian is an important historical document that sheds light on the Roman occupation of Britain and the military strategies they employed to maintain their control over the territory. It is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture and engineering, as it provides a detailed account of the construction techniques used to build the wall.Overall, The Wall of Hadrian is an informative and engaging read that will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, archaeology, or engineering. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about this iconic structure and its place in the history of Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
