Names Set in Stone: the Builders of Hadrian's Wall


16 May 2009 - 01 Mar 2010

Who built Hadrian's Wall? How did they overcome the challenges of this massive undertaking? This exhibition pieces together information from surviving inscriptions recording basic details of the workforce and the supervising centurions involved. In doing so, it takes us closer to an understanding of the origins and skills of the soldiers who built the largest Roman structure in the world.
