“The Wall after Hadrian: changing functions?” by Professor David Breeze
Did the Wall’s function change over the following centuries - and how can we tell? Changes in the use of its installations - turrets, milecastles and forts - together with military deployment in the north of Britain over a period of three centuries will be examined. The implications of the formation of the late Roman army for Hadrian’s Wall will be considered, together with developments in military architecture in the fourth century. What can these aspects tell us about Rome’s enemies in the north and west, the Picts and Scots? How successful was Hadrian’s Wall?
The 2019 Rhind Lectures, entitled “Hadrian’s Wall: A Study in Archaeological Exploration and Interpretation” and presented by Professor David Breeze OBE, BA, PhD, Hon DLitt, FSA, Hon FSA Scot, FRSE, Hon CIfA. Recorded in the National Museums Scotland auditorium at 3.30pm on 11 May 2019 by Mallard Productions Ltd. Sponsored by AOC Archaeology Group.
The Lectures
Hadrian’s Wall was written about even when it was occupied. The Romans produced souvenirs of the Wall, medieval scribes placed it on maps, antiquarian visitors recorded the remains, scholars from the Renaissance onwards argued about its date and purpose, and early archaeologists uncovered its walls. The age of modern discoveries started in the 1830s and over the succeeding 150 years a very substantial archaeological dataset has been created. The addition of new material, combined with new approaches to archaeological investigation, ensures that interpretations constantly require review.
These Rhind lectures examine the ways that data has been created, and then to move on to examine specific aspects of Hadrian’s Wall in depth, in particular its purpose and operation over time and its effect on the local population. In the final lecture, we look at the Wall today and some aspects of its future.
