It was a wonder of the ancient world and is a World Heritage Site.  Written by a leading archaeologist who has excavated widely on the Wall, this is an authoritative yet accessible treatment of the archaeological evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explains why the expansion of the Roman empire ground to a halt in remote northern Britain, how the Wall came to be built and the purpose it was intended to serve.  It is not a guidebook to the remains, but an introduction to the Wall and the soldiers and civilians, men, women and children, who once peopled the abandoned ruins visited by tourists today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55491404071298,"sku":"9780719818158","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9780719818158.jpg?v=1753746042","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.pro\/products\/9780719818158","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
