Andrew Tibbs, the person behind the popular account @RomanScotland, presents an overview of the history and archaeology of this famous monument, as well as a guide to the key Roman sites you can visit around Hadrian's Wall. The history of the wall begins with the first Roman invasion of northern Britain, which led to the construction of the Stanegate, a chain of forts across northern England, later replaced by the construction of Hadrian's Wall.

Thirty key sites, which can be visited, are examined, and Tibbs provides maps, illustrations, and details for each of them. This is the perfect book for anyone interested in the history of the wall and the rich variety of interesting sites that can be found along it.
