摘要

在建设计划的后期。更进一步的细节是,长城的基础和最低的部分似乎是用罗马英尺的长度建造的。比德韦尔报告的一个优点是他对早期相关发掘的重新审视。这里是他对F·G·辛普森调查长城和堡垒西门之间关系的记录的观察。比德韦尔的结论是,大门是在一段地基上用翼墙建造的,因此比长城本身要早。正是通过这样的观察,无论是古代的还是现代的,我们可以更好地理解建筑过程,通过这种观察,我们不仅可以欣赏长城的建造方式,还可以欣赏建筑的顺序,这反过来帮助我们理解建造者的优先事项和计划变化的重要性。墙森德以西的一段长城建在一个山谷上,这导致了上层建筑的反复倒塌和重建,这表明了罗马军队将长城作为屏障的决心。在护堤上发现了两个阶段的坑,可能是为了容纳诸如削尖的树枝之类的障碍物,这进一步强调了这一点。与此形成对比的是,在西部省份发现并挖掘出了一条沟渠,这是极为罕见的,它将水从沟渠的北面输送到堡垒的浴室,对三世纪的田地的考察也在长城的北面,这些都提醒人们,这条线性的屏障并不是一个很大的分水岭。在建立/的长城复制品之前,对现有证据进行了严格的审查,报告中详细说明了这一点。讨论包括考虑长城顶部的证据。这个决定是不容置疑的,他们决定为复制品提供一个步行墙,这样至少可以为游客提供一个观景平台。它有一个向前的护墙。出于现代健康和安全考虑,在步行墙的南侧安装了金属栏杆;罗马士兵无疑会欢迎这样的增加,考虑到任何巡逻至少会发生。我在地上。这不仅仅是一份挖掘报告,虽然这很重要,但它更广泛地考虑了这些结果的重要性,以及它们与哈德良长城其他部分的相关性。每一个对罗马边境感兴趣的人的书架上都应该有这本书。

late in the building programme. A further detail is that the foundations and lowest course of the Wall appear to have been built in lengths of  Roman feet. A strength of Bidwell’s reports is his re-examination of earlier relevant excavations. Here, it is his observations on the records relating to F G Simpson’s  investigation of the relationship between the Wall and the west gate of the fort. Bidwell’s conclusion is that the gate was erected with a wing wall laid on a single course of foundations, and therefore in advance of the Wall itself. It is through such observations, ancient as well as modern, that we can understand the building process better and through that obtain an appreciation not just of the way that the Wall was constructed but the sequence of building, which in turn help us to understand the priorities of the builders and the significance of the changes in plan. The section of the Wall west of Wallsend was erected over a valley, which led to the repeated collapse and rebuilding of the superstructure, an indication of the determination of the Roman army to maintain the Wall as a barrier. This was underlined by the discovery of two phases of pits on the berm, presumably to hold obstacles such as sharpened branches. By way of contrast, the discovery and excavation of an aqueduct, an extremely rare survival in the western provinces, bringing water to the fort’s bath-house from north of the ditch and the examination of fields dating to the third century, also to the north of the Wall, are reminders that the linear barrier was not a great divide. The erection of a replica stretch of the Wall in /was preceded by a rigorous examination of the available evidence, detailed in the report. The discussion includes consideration of the evidence for the top of the Wall. A decision could not be fudged, and it was decided to provide the replica with a wall-walk, which at least has the advantage of providing visitors with a viewing platform. This was provided with a forward parapet. Modern health and safety considerations have resulted in the placing of a metal railing on the south side of the wall-walk; Roman soldiers would doubtless have welcomed such an addition, considering that any patrolling would have taken place at least .m above the ground. This is not just an excavation report, important as that is, but a wider consideration of the significance of the results and their relevance to other parts of Hadrian’s Wall. It should be on the bookshelves of everyone interested in Roman frontiers.
