Riassunto

<div>Hadrian&#39;s Wall is the largest, most spectacular historical monument in Britain. Nothing else approaches its vast scale: a land wall running 73 miles from east to west and a sea wall stretching at least 26 miles down the Cumbrian coast. Some of its forts are as large as Britain&#39;s most formidable medieval castles, and with its mile towers, barracks and soldier&#8217;s leisure facilities, the site allows an astonishingly rich insight into Roman frontier life.&#160;<i>Hadrian&#39;s Wall Operations Manual</i> looks at the design and construction of the wall, from the initial land survey to its busiest period as Rome&#8217;s most northern frontier.</div>
