When we think of Hadrian's Wall, we tend to think of the Romans rather like US cavalrymen deep in Indian country,
defending the flag, peering through the cracks and waiting nervously for war drums and smoke signals.
A place where paranoia sweated from every stone.
But it wasn't really like that at all.
As fantastically ambitious as this was
stretching 73 miles from coast to coast from the Solway to the Tyne
Almost certainly, he didn't mean it as an impermeable barrier against barbarian onslaught from the north.
The wall was studded with milecastles and turrets afforts like this one at Housesteads.
But as Britain settled down in the second century AD
These places became up-country hill stations more like social centres and business centres than really grim, heavily-manned barracks.
