In this new edition of their book, the authors have updated their study of the famous Wall that divided Britain in two. Occasionally the Romans marched north and considered the complete conquest of the island; at other times the northern tribes would threaten to spill over the Wall to pillage the Roman province. Despite this, for three hundred years, with very few lapses, the peace of the frontier was regulated by the troops along the Wall. Only when the Western Empire fell did the soldiers drift away and the Wall decay.
Taking into account new research findings about the building of the Wall, David Breeze and Brian Dobson include details about the Roman army, its religion and daily life - on and off duty. Photographs, maps and diagrams help to make this a book for both the expert and the layman.
