#Hadrian's #Wall was a barrier forming part of a #frontier #fortification system, complete with #towers and #forts (#castells), that separated the Roman province of #Britannia #inferior from the #territory of #Celtictribes such as the Picts, Scots, and Caledonians in the north, in what is now Scotland. The wall was constructed between AD 122 and 128 on the orders of #Emperor Hadrian, after whom it is still named today. Spanning approximately 117.5 km, the wall served various #functions but was primarily intended to demonstrate the power of the Roman Empire. It was not designed as a defensive barrier capable of repelling full-scale enemy #invasions; instead, it served to #control cross-border traffic, such as trade shipments, by channeling it through specific crossings and to monitor the #frontierzone generally. The area surrounding Hadrian's Wall is a veritable treasure trove of archaeological finds dating from the #Romanera through to Late #Antiquity. The excellent state of #preservation of many of these finds allows for high-quality reconstructions that offer a glimpse into daily life near the frontier during that period. #Vindolanda, a fort for Roman auxiliary troops, was established prior to the construction of Hadrian's Wall, dating back to the first century AD, near the #Stanegate, a well-developed military road. During the era of Hadrian's Wall, it served to control the territory close to the wall. At the site of present-day Chesterholm, archaeologists have excavated the remains of nine successive #Romanforts. Because the Romans stabilized the entire site with clay before each new phase of construction, a wide variety of artifacts have been exceptionally well preserved. According to an article by Jarrett A. Lobell in Archaeology magazine (2017), numerous finds have been made in the area of Vindolanda that provide an impression of what life was like on the edge of the #RomanEmpire, in the immediate vicinity of Hadrian's Wall. According to the author, the #refuse left by the site's former #inhabitants offers particular insight into the composition of the communities living near a fort on Hadrian's Wall and the daily challenges they faced. Archaeologists frequently discovered #shoes, inscribed wax #tablets, and wooden writing tablets bearing ink inscriptions. More than 6,500 shoes and over 2,000 #writingtablets were #excavated. These findings allowed archaeologists to refute the notion that only, or predominantly, men lived within Roman military complexes; the discovery of children's shoes, for instance, indicates that entire families resided there. Naturally, surviving written records are of immense value and significance to researchers. These documents cover more than just official business; private correspondence has also survived, offering clues about conditions such as the state of the local infrastructure, ranging from complaints about poor road conditions to invitations to social gatherings. Written requests for specific garments also provide details regarding the everyday #clothing worn at the time. © #StefanFWirth, Berlin, June 2026 Reference: Jarrett A.

A five-sided artillery fort in the heart of Lerwick that bluffed a Dutch fleet, was burned by the Dutch anyway, and now serves as a base for the Army Reserve. https://t.co/QCEZmhRsa5 #Forts #Military #Shetland

I never set out to learn interior design. But years of shooting my collections in #forts, palaces, and #heritage properties taught me to appreciate spaces, textures, lighting, and architecture. #Fashion introduced me to interiors in the most unexpected way.
