History of Hadrian’s Wall                                                    anglais

Hadrian’s Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman empire for nearly 300 years. It was built by the Roman army on the orders of the emperor Hadrian following his visit to Britain in AD 122. At 73 miles (80 Roman miles) long, it crossed northern Britain from Wallsend on the River Tyne in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west. The most famous of all the frontiers of the Roman empire, Hadrian’s Wall was made a World Heritage Site in 1987.

Wall built?

 

This turret at Willowford is one of the best-preserved on the whole of Hadrian’s Wall. It was completed at least to this height before an early change of plan led the Wall to be narrowed from 10 to 8 Roman feet

Permanent conquest of Britain began in AD 43. By about AD 100 the northernmost army units in Britain lay along the Tyne–Solway isthmus. The forts here were linked by a road, now known as the Stanegate, between Corbridge and Carlisle.

Hadrian came to Britain in AD 122 and, according to a biography written 200 years later, ‘put many things to right and was the first to build a wall 80 miles long from sea to sea to separate the barbarians from the Romans’.

The building of Hadrian’s Wall probably began that year, and took at least six years to complete. The original plan was for a wall of stone or turf, with a guarded gate every mile and two observation towers in between, and fronted by a wide, deep ditch. Before work was completed, 14 forts were added, followed by an earthwork known as the Vallum to the south.

The inscription on the Ilam pan, a 2nd-century souvenir of Hadrian’s Wall found in 2003, suggests that it was called the vallum Aelii, Aelius being Hadrian’s family name.

Cette tourelle de Willowford est l'une des mieux conservées du mur d'Hadrien. Il a été achevé au moins à cette hauteuravant qu'un changement de plan initial ait conduit le mur à être rétréci de 10 à 8 pieds romains

La conquête permanente de la Grande-Bretagne commença en 43 après J.-C. Vers l'an 100, les unités militaires les plus septentrionales de Grande-Bretagne se trouvaient le long de l'isthme de Tyne-Solway. Les forts ici étaient reliés par une route, maintenant connue sous le nom de Stanegate, entre Corbridge et Carlisle.
