Hadrian's Wall

This paper brings up to date accounts of discoveries by air reconnaissance in the field of Romano-British studies already published in this Journal (JRS XLI, XLIII, and XLV). In the last few years nearly every major Roman site in Britain has been repeatedly reconnoitred from the air in a yearly course of flights especially planned for the purpose of research. The body of information thus obtained shows that even air survey conducted over several successive years does not exhaust the possibilities of acquiring new knowledge at places already known, while discovery of sites hitherto unrecognized continues apace. The incidence of the discoveries, however, proves to vary. Scrutiny of military sites in the area of Hadrian's Wall and its hinterland, which yielded so much information in the decade 1945–55, has in the last three years added comparatively little to the record.

Considerable Discussion

The problem of the duration of the first Roman occupation of Scotland is an interesting and important one, and it has been the subject of considerable discussion since the excavation of Newstead added the evidence of archaeology to that of the scanty literary sources. There can be no doubt that, by the time that Hadrian's Wall was planned, Agricola's conquests north of Cheviot had been relinquished by the Romans, but it is not definitely known at what date after his recall, late in the year A.D. 84, the withdrawal took place. There are four emperors under whom the change of frontier policy thus effected may have occurred—Domitian, Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian. The latter's evacuation of most of Trajan's Eastern acquisitions seemed, at one time, to qualify him as the author of a similar limitation of the Empire's extent in Britain.
