Synopsis
Housesteads in the best-known fort on Hadrian's Wall and the most popular monument along the whole line. Despite its bleak setting, excavations over the past 150 years have revealed fascinating details of the civilized life of the Roman Army on the very limit of the empire. This book outlines the major structures of the fort which have made it one of the most celebrated military monuments anywhere in the Roman world. Incorporating the results of the most recent research and excavations as well as of earlier work, it provides a vivid account of the history of the fort and settlement from its foundation to the present day, describing the building of the fort and Hadrian's Wall, the everyday life of the garrison, art and religion, the decline of Roman rule, and medieval farmers and border brigands.
